I want a Bridge (client) NOT Extender
I recently purchased a tp-link TL-WR802N to create a network WiFi bridge between my router (located on an outside wall) to my Honeywell security system (located in the center of the house). I understand a "bridge" eliminates having to run wires,
Following the instructions provided, the installation is called a "Client". But after logging on and selecting client and finishing the setup, the thing does not work. When I plug my PC ethernet cable into it, I cannot access the internet or anything else on my LAN. I tried the troubleshooting steps and Nada. I connected an ethernet cable to it from my router and although the device is discovered, I still cannot access it via it's IP address.
So my questions are: Can this device work as a "bridge"? And, if so, how do I set this model up to do this?
