Dear TechSupport forum,

I have bought and successfully installed a TL-WA854RE. It connects to a root AP with a very long password. I have recently purchased an EZCAST HDMI dongle but I seem to have problems when it tries to connect to the local (extended) network as the password (replicated from the root AP) is too long. I have tried to set the password for the local wireless network to a different one than the root AP but that doesn't work (meaning that I then lose the connection to the root AP). I cannot change the root AP password to a shorter one so I am stuck. Is it not possible to have a different password for the local wireless network and how do I do that?

Many thanks!
