I have set this up by trial and error got a working AP and can connect to the internet.

I am using this as a bridge with AP.

In wireless settings I have set to best AP to connect to and then set a new SSID and key for the AP.

In DHCP I have used the same address range as the original AP but moved it to a higher range. I have then address two machines to the address reservation list.

The address reservation only works for the first connection, after which the machine is getting its IP address from the fisrt AP which it is connecting to through the TP-Link. Why is the TP Link not giving the address as expected? Can I stop this?

In the wireless settings if I change the channel of the local AP I lose connection to the bridged AP, it seems the channel is for both not just local, is there a way to break them apart?

More info if needed although strangly I cannot connect to the TPLINK at the moment even though I know its IP address.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help with any of this.
