Hi,

I have airtel broadband with Huawei portal and I want to extend its range so I bought the "TP-Link Archer AC1200 Archer C6" to extend the range​

But I am not able to set up it. I tried searching forums and YouTube videos but nothing seems to be working. So please help me set up the C6 as a range extender. Here is what I did.

On C6 router:

Plugged ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports of Airtel modem.
plugged the other side to the WLAN port of the C6 router

Then I logged into to 2.4 GH Wifi of Tp-link to log into: tplinkwifi.net
If I follow the quick setup for the access point... the setup is completed. I can see it on the c6 router. Green light for 2.4 / 5 GH wifi and internet green light. But the internet does not work.

Now if I try the manual step. I.e. After logging into the wifi of TPlink-- goes to LAN and enables manual IP..
There I set the manual IP below

192.168.1.3

then I try to disable the DHCP server, then as well my internet is not working.
