TP-LINK TD-W8951ND and D-LINK Dir-505
2013-10-12 22:15:03
Region : Brazil

Model : TD-W8951ND

Hardware Version : V5

Firmware Version : 5.0.0 Build 120522 Rel.23978

ISP : Velox

I'm having a problem getting internet connection using the DIR-505 wireless extender. The DIR-505 has 3 modes: Router/AP, Repeater and Hotspot. First I tried to setup it as a repeater, didn't work. Then I tried to setup it as a Hotspot. Didn't work also. In the DIR-505 status page there is the information Network Status: Disconnected (in repeater mode). In Hotspot mode, my gateway adress is 0.0.0.0 (both repeater and hotspot).

So, I started to look at TD-W8951ND's Wireless and LAN config page. In LAN config page I see that the device is located by the DHPC, but the IP is 0.0.0.0. The thing is, I started to look at the Wireless page and I decided to disable the WPA. Then the DIR-505 connected to the TD-W8951ND. I'm trying to figure it out why I can't setup it with WPA or WEP (doesn't matter if TKIP or AES also), since the DIR-505 obviously supports WPA (WPA and WPA2), I've run out of ideas. I don't understand why the devices sets their IP with 0.0.0.0 when I use passwords. I don't want to leave my wireless open.

You mean you use DIR-505 repeater TD-W8951ND? And when TD-W8951ND's wireless network use WPA or WEP,DIR-505 can't connect to TD-W8951ND while DIR-505 can connect to 8951 with no security?

Check if the LAN IPs of your DIr and TP-link conflicted,if they are all 192.168.1.1,you can't get Internet access.

DIR-505 is a wireless extender ( http://www.dlink.com.br/produtos-detalhes/items/dir-505.html), similar to TL-WA850RE ( http://www.tp-link.com.br/products/details/?categoryid=1247&model=TL-WA850RE). The TD-W8951ND is my modem/router, i use the DIR-505 to get signal to areas of the house the TD-W8951ND can't provide. And yes, if I set a password to protect the network, the DIR-505 can't connect to my router. It shows in TD-W8951ND's DHCP table, but with a 0.0.0.0 IP.

Lee, the DIR-505 uses 192.168.0.1 as its default IP.

At least, that's what was happening. For some reason the DIR-505 and the TD-W8951ND decided that they should be working together with the password. Sincerely, I have no idea what the hell was going on :/

Well,maybe when the two devices are used together,something abnormal will happen.......but it's not common.You sitll can have following things confirmed.
1.Make sure you enter the correct password of TD-W8951ND's wireless network in DIR-505.
2.Also you can use your mobile phone or laptop connect TD-W8951ND via wifi with password,and confirm your mobile phone can get internet access.If you can access the Internet,then that means nothing is wrong with your TD-W8951ND,maybe you don't configurate your DIR-505 correctly or something with wrong with your DIR-505.Then you can contact D-link for some tech support...ask if your DIR-505 has some problem

Hi.. I am new to this forum.. Same with me as well. I tried connecting DIR-505 in repeater mode with WPA2.. Is there anyway to make this work. Should i change the security settings. All i see is the IP of my AP and DIR505 are not the same and its not allowing me to change it as well.
