Need help with TL-WR902AC in either Access Point mode or Range Extender mode
Model : TL-WR902AC
Hardware Version : TL-WR902AC v1 00000000
Firmware Version : 3.16.9 Build 20170628 Rel.37804n
ISP :
Hi,
Just purchased a TL-WR902AC today, but can't get it to work in either Access Point (preferred) mode or Range Extender mode. Also download latest firmware from your support site but it also doesn't work.
My existing network in in 192.168.0.x range connects to internet through ADSL2 modem/router, and as already have lots of devices setup + other configurations, I don't want to change the existing network IP range.
First tried the Range Extender mode, following instructions from "http://www.tp-link.com.au/faq-1502.html" and select "Smart IP" I was able to see and connect to the new network (also show IP in 192.168.0.x range starting from 192.168.0.100?). But all devices connected to that new network have problem getting DNS name resolution - as reported by windows diagnostics. Tried on both Windows 7/10 desktop client and iPhone, all the same result.
Next tried the Access Point mode with a network cable connected to ADSL2 modem/router, which is the preferred way, but the result is the same. Can connect to the new network but have problem with DNS name resolution.
Tried to setup fixed IP, but I am not sure if the IP should be in the same 192.168.0.x range as my existing network or totally different one?
Any help or hint would be really appreciated. Thanks
