`tl-WA801N v2 multiple AP in house - cant make it work!
Region : UnitedKingdom
Model : TL-WA801ND
Hardware Version : V2
Firmware Version : 3.13.30 Build 130121 Rel.69318n
ISP : irrelevant to this
this one is driving me crazy, hope someone can help. we have a large house so i am planning on having a AP on top floor and ground floor.
Network 192.168.19.0, dhcp scope 192.168.19.100 - 192.168.19.100.253
server Os windows small business server 2011
router billion 7800n using EWAN port to connect to internet.
gateway: 192.168.19.1
subnet: 255.255.255.0
so i setup the ground floor tl-WA801N as a AP set to get its IP address via DHCP, 192.168.19.110 via dhcp reservation from the SBS server DHCP scope set on MAC address.
encryption: a WPA/WPA2 password set, version and encryption set to automatic, group keyupdate set to 30
ap name: SquirrelHm
DHCP server on unit turned off.
Channel: 11
All works fine on its own, can access net and log on / off network using any device IPAD/RetMacbook, devices get their correct dhcp reservations.
Now set up the 2nd tl-WA801N to use as top floor AP
ip via DHCP : 192.168.19.111
DHCP server on unit turned off.
use the AP'a config wizard to select UNIVERSAL REPEATER, use survey button to find the host AP, select it.
as soon as you hit save, i start getting another computer is using your ip address error boxes, even on a wired network computer.
encryption set as per above.
this basically totals the network and is network is only restored when the top floor router is powered off and reset to defaults.
what am i doing wrong? many thanks for any help.
Pete.
