Using TL-WA 5210G as WIFI Range Extender

Region : Canada

Model : TL-WA901ND

Hardware Version : V1

Firmware Version : unknown

ISP : Rogers


:confused:

I am trying to extend my wireless range to include another house about 300-500 ft away, but am having problems setting it up.
My setup is:

Netcomm 3G27WV-R 3G modem (wifi switched off, single LAN port)), ====> hardwired to Linksys 160N Router (for extra ports for local computer and TL-WA)
and local WIFI (local SSID) ====> hardwired to TL-WA5210G, which sends WIFI signal to the wireless users in the other building.

I am trying to use it as an additional wifi router, but am having problems with the DNS, I can connect to it, but not to
the internet because of DNS.

So what would be the correct setup in this case?

Did you try to manually assign a DNS like 8.8.8.8?
WA5210 is connected to router by cable and it is working in access point mode?

I get confused about your topology. Here I use "-----" for wire connection, use "))((" for wireless connection.

I know how you connect your modem and router: Netcomm 3G27WV-R 3G modem ------- Linksys 160N Router )))))

But how do you connect the TL-WA5210G?

The real layout is: Netcomm Modem ----------Linksys160N------------TL-WA5210G )))))((((( Client( at 300ft) as well as TL-WR710N (as wifi repeater on clients side),
but I still have problems setting up the last part to the TL-WA5210G, I can not seem to work out which would be the way to do it. And TP-Link tech. support does
not seem to be able to help.
