Using a TP-Link router as a wireless access point in s shared office with central rou
Region : UnitedKingdom
Model : TL-WR1043ND
Hardware Version : V2
Firmware Version : 3.13.12 Build 120405 Rel.33996n
ISP :
I am working in an office in a shared office space.
There is a central router in the building which supplies our IPs dynamically.
Because of the number of network plugs in the office, some people work wired while some people work wireless.
We have a printer/scanner which is connected to the network (wired).
I would like to use our TP-Link as an access point, but I am having some trouble with the exact configuration.
This is as close as I have gotten by doing the following:
Turn of DHCP on the TP-Link
[*]Wire my laptop directly into the router
[*]Leave Wireless on
[*]Plug the cable from the wall to router in the LAN port instead of the WAN port
This results in my laptop getting a proper IP from the building router and I can connect to internet. But I can't connect to the Admin screen of the router any more and wireless access does not work.
I think that I am almost there. Any ideas?
