Model : TL-MR3420

Hardware Version : Not Clear

Firmware Version : stock

ISP : Vox

I am trying to use my router as an access point, I want it to have the same IP address as the rest of the network, however when I try to change it to 192.168.1.x it refuses with the error, the WAN and the LAN cannot be on the same subnet mask, I have connected this router via a LAN cable from the main router and it establishes the 192.168.0.x network, this messes up my interconnectivity with other IOT devices, screen sharing etc, that are on the main network. Is there a way to use it as an AP and use the 192.168.1.X network while connected to it? Are there step by step instructions on how to connect this particular router as an AP, I managed to connect the newer version (wr940) as an AP in the same network without hassles. Please assist, I'm a noob...:D

Since you have also configured MR3420 as an Access Point, the DHCP function should be disabled on this router.

Have you done that? If yes, it's unnecessarty to change the IP address of 3420 because the clients which are connecting to MR3420 will obtain IP addresses from your main router not 3420 any more.

Therefore, they will keep in the same subnet.
