Setting multiple TP-Link routers under one SSID

2019-12-24 19:58:39

Hi,

I'm trying to link all my TP-Link APs under one SSID. I have an Archer C50 V4 EU (Main Router), Archer C2 AC750 (AP) and an older WR841N V8 (AP).

The Archers are running the latest versions of their default firmware while the WR is running OpenWRT 18.04.

I'm trying to get them all to be under one SSID so they appear as one network. I've mostly done that and the networks show as one but the network doesn't allow connection to the internet for some reason. I was wondering if there's anything I can do to get the APs to work together and get the clients onto the internet.

Some more information. These APs are connected over powerline from the C50. DHCP servers on the C2 and WR have been disabled.

@Longhorn

Hello, below are the instructions to configure the two routers as access point.

https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/417/ For TL-WR841N

https://www.tp-link.com/support/download/archer-c2/#video For Archer C2.

With they work in access point mode, they need connect to the main router by wired cable.

May it help.
