Hi,

I purchased the TD-W8951ND for its access point functionality but am having issues with the setup. I am staying in a hotel in Thailand and my laptop only just picks up their Wi-Fi signal in my room, so I thought I'd buy an AP to get a stronger signal. The problem is I can't find anywhere in the setup where you can select a wireless network to connect to (or provide a password).

Does the TD-W8951ND have to be connected to a network via cable in order to use it as an access point? If so it is useless to me. Thank you.

the product you have is a modem router, i suppose what you need is sth like a repeater, such as TL-WA901ND.
there are also some nano models like TL-WR702N/TL-WR700N which have the repeater mode.
