Problem with WA701ND repeater
Region : Others
Model : TL-WA701ND
Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version : 130110
ISP : Algerie Telecom
HeIlo,
I have a tp-link Access Point WA701ND v1.2, I want to use it as a repeater to expand the area of wireless
at first I had a problem when access to the configuration page with the RJ45 cable, it could not access the page and request to the address of the access point does not pass, I applied the advice provided in the manual setting a fixed IP of the PC, I also reset access point, ineffective
later I had the idea to connect with the wifi of the device and it worked and I was able to access the configuration page
in the repeater option, I made the survey to analyze the availables networks and connect to my wireless network, I click connect (like the picture) and then save, the device asks me to reboot, then I see a problem, because of the access point didn't ask me the wifi key and there is no field where I can enter it, although my wifi network is protected by a password
I reboot anyway, and once the device turned on, I didn't catch up it's wifi signals, I repeated the process several times and still no wifi of the access point after the reboot
and it is the same with the universal repeater option
not learned what to do I decided to apply the latest update to the repeater (the version released V1_130110_beta released two days ago) but no change
I reset the device several times with no result
I hope to have help, thank's you

Re:Problem with WA701ND repeater
I tried to connect using the laptop in the garden where the wifi signal is low (two bars) with the access point plugged into the kitchen where the signal is three bars, the kitchen is beside the garden, but the laptop doesn't connect with the access point because the wifi level remain with two barre
So I went in another place, I put the access point in a place where the laptop used to receive two barre of wifi and i pt the laptop in a place where it receive any signal, I turned on the access point, after that the laptop received 4 bars, so I think the laptop would connect to the access point only when it receives no signals from the router, but there was no connection, i tried few websites but impossible to access
for notice, sometimes windows show (limited access) beside the bars of signal
I also tried to set 20Mhz

Re:Problem with WA701ND repeater
dont waist your time with same SSID ( name of wireless) no TL device handles Wireless Zero handoff or roaming the only known product in beta is Unifi3.0 from other brand.
its the way a TL device works better with DHCP enable, fill gateway and primary DNS see picture, use your ISP primary DNS, if you dont know your primary
DNS use Googles primary
8.8.8.8 in the picture i did not use primary DNS from my ISP i used Gateway and as primary DNS the same numbers of the Gateway.
I advice you to reset your 701 and start from scratch, i have
saved settings and restore and 50% of the times does not work, so i dont waist my time saving settings any more
Keep using channel width to 20Mhz not auto
