setting repeater mode
Region : Canada
Model : TL-WA5210G
Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version : 4.4.7 build 120821 ref 56860n
ISP : Bell
I intend to set up my new TL-WA5210G as a repeater or universal repeater.
Had no problem to access it with its default address ie 192.168.1.254 and modify all settings.
I can set it as a repeater, and I see it connect to my root AP. but when I look for it with a laptop through wifi, I see all my existing SSID, but not the new one.
questions:
is the TP Link just using the same SSID as the root AP?
Is it normal that I see no signal strength lights on the unit whereas when it is set up just as an AP, lights are up.
How can I test if the TL is really up and running? (there is no traffic statistic in the corresponding web page.)
Am I missing something??
tks in adv for your suppport
