I am not sure I understand what you mean by "The only mode I have is if it is plugged into a router and i can log into it, so just a wifi router."  I read that to mean that the device in question works when used as a router, connected directly to your modem.

An access point is typicall hard wired to a network via ethernet allow WiFi devices to connect to that network.  So, as I think you want the setup, it should look like this:

MODEM <--Ethernet--> Router <--Ethernet--> AP )))) WiFi ((((  wireless devices

If the physical connection between Router and AP is a possibility, that is preferred as it will provide best performance.

As a wireless range extnder:

MODEM <--Ethernet--> Router )))) WiFi (((( Range Extender )))) WiFi ((((  wireless devices

Since the range extender has to perform "double duty" carrying data to and from Router to wireless devices, performance is effectively "halved" for wirelles connected devices in this type of configuration.

Please let me know if I understood you correctly or if this helps. I do not mean to insult your understanding, but wanted to provide the above in case you are confusing how each setup should work.

Not sure why your reply I received in email is not in this thread, but are you saying that when you put the with in AP mode, you do not see the option in the web GUI too?  I do find it strange that the unit has a switch as well as place in the GUI under Operation Mode to configure it for AP mode.  Do you see this setting and if so have you tried to configure the rest of the settings accordingly?

TP Link is resending a bin file to correct the issue of not have two other modes that are part of the reason I bought this router for travel.
