Hi all,

Pretty much a newbie when it comes to these kind of things but I am starting to become very frustrated in my attempts to set up my TL-WR940N device as an Access Point. In my case the TL-WR940N is connected via an ethernet cable to the router.

The router has its own wifi SSID and password but it is not strong enough to reach the bedroom. In the bedroom I have just placed a Chromecast device thingy but for it to work it needs to have the same network ID as in the rest of the house. Hence my desire to set the TL-WR940N up as an Access Point.

I have tried everything I could find and think of. The QuickSetup: no joy: connected but no internet. Manually setting it up: no, same story: connected but no internet. Tried all the forum posts and solutions posted there: sorry, did not work for me. Also tried setting it up as a range extender but also that did not work (due to lack of signal strength?)

I do notice that the TL-WR940N IP address (when it works under its own SSID and stuff), is outside the range of the router but with the same Subnet Mask. This doesn't mean a whole lot to me so that really shows my level of knowledge.

When setting the thing up with its own SSID and stuff, it works ok (connected and internet access) but that means i need to go to the living room to change movies on the Chromecast: not very practical.

Please help!
