How to login into router via browser after setting it to AP-Client mode
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
The description how to set the Router to AP-Client mode is good and after rebooting the router, it is working fine. But I cannot log in to the router anymore. Even if I am using the IP Adress what ifconfig (ipconfig) is showing.
How can I log into my router via browser after setting it to AP-Client mode?

@simageye The default IP is not valid anymore. So I sniffed the Network with a bash script. In my case the network with 192.168.178.XXX.
I found few IPs which are up and I tried them. Of course not a nice method for bigger Networks and many devices.
The script was this in pingall.sh:
#!/bin/bash
date
RED='\033[0;31m'
NC='\033[0m' # No Color
IP1="192.168.178."
for IP2 in {1..254};
do
fping -c1 -t300 $IP1$IP2 2>/dev/null 1>/dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo -e "${RED}http://$IP1$IP2${NC}"
fi
done
Finally one of them worked and I can login to my router.

Hi, after you configure the MR3020 to be client mode, when you connect to MR3020, the computer IP address is actually assigned by your main router instead of the MR3020, therefore, the ipconfig IP address is either your computer IP or your main router IP instead of MR3020 IP address, that is why it doesn't work when you access that IP address.
If you never change the IP address of the MR3020, please refer to the AP Mode part in the instruction below to login the web interface:
https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/faq/748/
After you login that page, you could also try to change the MR3020 LAN IP address to be within the subnet of your main router, for example, if your main router IP address is 192.168.1.1, you could set the MR3020 to be 192.168.1.x such as 192.168.1.2 etc., so that you could use MR3020 IP address to login its web interface directly.

Hi, glad to hear that it worked finally, and it is recommended to set a static LAN IP address within the same subnet as your router for the MR3020 so that you could always use that IP address to log in the MR3020 web interface.
