Cannot get a VR1600 to talk to VR900
Having some issues figuring this out.
I had NBN HFC installed yesterday, unfortunately I cant use my TP Link VR900 for HFC due to being the V3 model and it not supporting VLAN ID tagging in "Wireless ROuter Mode".
More than happy to use the Internode supplied VR1600v (essentialy a VR600v) which is working fine. I have an Ethernet cable run under our house to my back room, where I have my old Billion 7800n, which talks with the VR1600 without any problems.
I'd like to replace the Billion with the VR900, but I'm having issues getting it talking with the VR1600.
When I plug the VR900 in, it has the same IP address gateway as the VR1600 – both default are 192.168.1.1
I've tried the following, but they still wont see each other:
- changed the VR900 to different IP addresses - example 192.1.168.2 (the Billion default gateway is 192.168.1.254 which works fine)
- have tried disabling DHCP on the VR900
- have tried setting up bridge mode and changing operational mode to Wireless Bridge Mode
- tried using normal LAN ports as well as port 4 which is WAN/LAN
I'd like to have both the TP Link routers working together, with the VR900 at the back of the house providing WiFi and being able to access it's interface, as well as the same for the front of the house using the VR1600.
I know this should be something simple, but it's got me scratching my head in trial and error, any help would be much appreciated.
