Hello, 

i just bought myself the TL-WR902AC EU Travel Router. 

 

I was planning to setup a private network for my devices while using the hotel wifi. 

 

That being said, the option I wanted to use was the "Share Hotspot" feature of the travel router. 

 

The documentation page, for exactly my hardware version → (Link) Support Page Docu Article  → was exactly what i was looking for. 

 

Now i tried it several times with several wifis, i was always unable to set it up. 

The DHCP which was supposed to happen by the router did in fact never happen, not in a single case. 

 

No matter what i tried, even reconnecting a different wifi, trying with my phone hotspot wifi, even my private home network which is totally under my control, 

every single time the DHCP did not finish, or eventually didnt even start.

I cant say exactly, as there are no DHCP logs. 

What i can say however is, that in the status page, 2.4 ghz always shows "connected" as status, and i can confirm inside my home network, that the router is in fact connected to my home network. 5GHZ on the other hand always shows "connecting" as status.

The interesting part is, that even though the travel router is connected, DHCP does not seem to happen at all, its only connected by mac, not by IP.

It also only shows a connection speed of "1mbps/1mbps" as current connection speed. that seems rather awkward. 

 

I tried downloading a different firmware: 

 - currently 0.9.1 0.4 Build 220329 ...

 - to ??? Build 230223 

But, this does not work: Error Message "You Put wrong File" 

 

Im really thinking about returning this. 

 

Thanks, 

Ebiko

 

 

I have no idea what may be wrong.
