it is not any of these cases. I try to connect with second method because the router is in another room but it has 2-3 lines signal. I have checked the OS to take automatic IP, I have tryied two different OS (Ubuntu and windows 8), I have reinstalled the newest firmware but nothing happens. My route has 2.4.G frequency and wpa2 encryption. Please help me

I managed to connect to the internet from windows 8 but I noticed that the only way to connect is ,first to connect the pc with ethernet cable to the router so that it can automatically find ip address and then connect the ethernet to tplink wa890ae. This is the only way that the windows 8 to find the ip address. But I can't connect from ubuntu. There is some bug on firmware I think or some problem with TL WA890AE.


sorry for my english

I don't see a problem this device does not deliver wireless only Ethernet
Read specs.
Gives wired-only devices (Eg. Smart TVs and Blu-ray players) access to an existing Wi-Fi network
You are connecting with Dynamic ip on W8 set Static ip on Ubuntu and you will be able

But my desktop is wired_only device. It Does not have wireless. And the only thing that I want is to deliver wireless from my router to ethernet in my desktop. If it can't do it this then why do you say that WA890AE work with all devices which can connect with ethernet? If this device can not connect to my PC Desktop then how to connect to Smart TVs and Blu-players????

I had the same problem and i solved it as follows:

1. Give a static IP to TL-WA890. If your router is at eg IP AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD give it an IP like AAA.BBB.CCC.EEE where EEE is your choice.
2. Disable both WPS and DHCP
3. Connect the TL-WA890 to the router by using a computer connection
4. Give static IPs to each device connected to TL-WA890.

It took me 3 days to solve this problem.
If you need further help contact me in my e-mail. I am also in Greece.
