Using TPLink TL-WA801ND As Repeater And Connect PC Also?
Dec 26, 2011
I want to use TP-LINK TL-WA801ND as a repeater, at the same time I need to connect one PC to this repeater by UTP cable (the router has one RJ-45 port) will I be able to successfully connect this PC to internet using this router as a repeater ?
I'm trying to configure mine as a wireless repeater, but to no avail. Here's what I've done so far: disabled WPS changed my router's IP to 192.168.0.2 (because the source router's IP is 192.168.0.1) rebooted the router enabled WDS, found the network I want to repeat using the Survey feature, then filled in the WPA2 password. enabled WPA2 security on my own repeated network, using the same authentication type and password as the original rebooted the router.
My router complains that "WAN port is unplugged", and it doesn't get a WAN IP or incoming packets, which probably means it's expecting the internet signal to come from the WAN port rather than the wireless network I set up, right? How can I force the router to connect to the network? Also, should both routers be in the same subnet? I've tried with different subnets but nothing changes. The source router is a D-Link DIR-600.
I have a TP-Link wireless router which we have always been able to connect to the router with these laptops. My sister has come over to use our internet, which has worked before on her laptop, but now all of a sudden she can't connect to our router, it won't even allow her to type in the password it just says Windows can't connect to the network. I then tried one of our other laptop and after much battling it also refuses to connect to the router. eventually it did, but it still can't connect to the internet.I sat on the phone for about a hour with our network provider (I am from South Africa), and after trying many things, it still won't work. The guy said that there is nothing more to try.

So I am an owner of this router for the last 2 years: TL-WR542G - Welcome to TP-LINK . Today it died on me. All of its leds are lightning up, but it doesn't provide a wifi network, and won't give me an interface when i try to access it through 192.168.1.1 on my desktop . There seems to be nothing I can do about it , I tried pushing the reset button on it's back but it does nothing at all.
Do I have any other options to get some life back into it?
I looked at portforward.com and have forwarded port 3389 in the modem with the ip address set to the router's address. I've also forwarded 3389 in the router to the pc's address.
which will can extend the signal strength? changing antennas, put a wireless amplifier or buy ASUS 66U??change TPLink TL-WR1043ND to ASUS 66U ??? ASUS 66U is best to TPLink TL-WR1043ND and can extend the signal strength by up to twice the distance?
have been trying to access 192.168.1.1 TPLINK Model TD-w8950ND configurations to ensure settings are correct and check password etc.

I had this problem for 3 months now, at random times I get no connection and the LAN led 1 in my router (which I am connected to) just keep blinking very fast, ADSL and ACT leds are just on. I tried to troubleshoot the problem and it detected 2 problems: "default gateway is not available" and "local area connection doesn't have a valid IP". even when it says that it is fixed, seconds later the problem is still there (sometimes it gives me one problem only). I tried many solution on the forum including reseting the router, disabling the laptop's wireless modem (I'm on a laptop) and even trying ipconfig/release - ipconfig/renew. everything is up to date and I update my antivirus (and it has auto update enabled). here are my specs:
