N-600 TD-W8980 As access point settings
Not been able to get this N600 TD-W8980 to act as a Wireless AP.
Have doen many in th past but this is beign a pig.
I have found a few threads about it, one from the old TP Community forum that links just to the front page of the new forum and a few sound free videos with a yellow blob moving around thescreen, that show basically nothing.
I have the Operational Mode Set to Wireless Router Mode..there are only two options ..some threads show more options.
All the threads I have seen show to use the Incoming internet connection on Port LAN4/WAN. If I do that I do not even get a connection to the internet on the other ports if I plug a laptop into them.
Only seems to act as a router IF the Internet In is on Ports 1-3
It is what to set the Network / WAN Settings Page that is confusing me.
The options are DynamicIP
Static IP or PPPoE
Dynamic never populates the fields..not suprisign if the Internet connection is just from another router.
Static Only works if I put in a made up IP address such as 93.106.234.48 or some similar external type WAN IP
And DHCP Server page
Disable/ Enable or DHCP Relay
well i want the DHCP to be from the main router, so either Disable or Relay
If I select Relay A message in RED pops up about Disablign NAT, which I can do, but then it still deos nto work even setting the remoe DHCP server as the manin router 192.168.1.1
If I use Static IP with a fictious WAN IP adddress, and connect the router 192.168.1.1 to either of ports 1-3, I cna access the internet on the other ports.
But connecting the Router to Port 4 LAN4/WAn, it does nto work
Any client connected to WiFi does not ever get internet.
Anyoen have clues on how to set this up?
