Hi, you can setup the router as an Access Point. Here is the instruction: http://www.tp-link.com/us/faq-1384.html

@Anton, thanks for the answer. I have already made this, but there are some issues with it:

1) http://tplinkwifi.net/ does not work properly, I have to write my IP to get to AP settings,

2) automatic NTP time settings does not work untill you set routing tables to route to ntp servers IPs manually (and I have to use ntp servers IPs not domain names),

3) AP diagnostics (ping and traceroute does) not work at all

Because the router is working as Access Point, not a normal router, so it's suggested to use the LAN IP to access to it. And for NTP time settings, yes, need to setup static routing, you can refer to: http://www.tp-link.com/us/faq-560.html
What do you mean ping and traceroute does) not work at all?

Hi Anton,

thanks again.

Concerning not working PING and TRACEROUTE:
When I go to Advanced -> System Tools -> Diagnostics and want to ping to i.e. google.com I get:
"There is no response from DNS .
please check the domain name or DNS."


when I want too ping an IP address i.e. 8.8.8.8 I get:
"Network is unreachable . please check the ip address."

The same is with traceoute tool.

C2600 in AP mode definitely wants to use WAN port instead of LAN in diagnostic tools. Routing 0.0.0.0 to LAN is missing and I am not able to add it with C2600 WEB interface. Routing 0.0.0.0 to LAN will probably also solve DNS in NTP problem.

Yes, you're right, I think the static routing on the router cannot do that.
