Channel in status after refresh is this same (11) all time? When you make wireless connection give me information about addresses on wireless card.

Kanał w statusie jest cały czas ten sam (11)? Kiedy łączysz się z repeaterem jaką masz informację w systemie i jaki adres dostajesz na kartę.

I can see that MAC 90-F6-52-80-12-0E is not cloned form root router, but it's MAC of my TP LINK repeater, but I'm not sure if that is any problem in that case.

Widze, ze MAC 90-F6-52-80-12-0E na urzadzeniu w trybie repeater nie jest klonem maca z orginalnego routera, ale nie wiem czy ma to jakiekolwiek znaczenie.

No, this is mac from router interface. This same wired and wireless interface (bridge). Sometimes repeater mode has problem with another devices not Tp-link.

To jest mac interfejsu sieciowego, taki sam dla LAN i radia bo są zmostkowane. Czasmi tryb repeater ma problem z urządzeniami innych producentów.

Yes, the channel is all the time 11 and re IP address, in laptop wifi card is not assigned by router in repeat mode as per subject of thread. This is 3rd otel where I'm trying to boost wifi with repeater and always the same problem like here.

Tak, kanal jest ciagle 11, a karta nie dostaje adresu po DHCP niestety. To juz 3ci hotel gdzie testuje repeater i problem jest zawsze ten sam.

Better solution is universal repeater because typical repeater needs WDS support in main router.
Can you try Client or WISP (receiver) and wired connection with computer.

Lepszym rozwiązaniem jest tryb uniwersal repeater ponieważ typowy repeater potrzebuj wsparcia WDS na głównym routerze. Próbowałeś konfiguracji Client-a lub WISP-a (odbiornik) i połączenie kablowe z komputerem?

What do you mean by "universal repeater" ? Another device or another mode if this device ?
WISP - is it something that I can setup setup without access to main (hotel) router configuration ?

Co rozumiesz przez "universal repeater" ? Inne urzadzenie czy inny tryb tego routera ?
WISP - czy moge to ustawic bez dostepu do routera hotelowego ?

Universal Repeater is implemented in typical access point from TP-link - WA701ND or WA901ND
Universal Repeater jest umieszczony w typowym access point-ie od tp-linka. Nie potrzebuje wsparcia WDS w głównym routerze.

If you have internet access in computer (you know security in main router) WISP mode will be supported of course by the cable.

Jeżeli masz dostęp do internetu w komputerze (znasz zabezpieczenia) tryb WISP będzie działał poprawnie, oczywiście przez kabel.

Yes, I just found in Manual that:

"Repeater: This mode allows the AP with its own BSS to relay data to a root AP to which it
is associated with WDS enabled. The wireless repeater relays signal between its stations
and the root AP for greater wireless range."


which means, main router need to have WDS enabled and since it's not standarized it's always very problematic protocol. I don't understand how typical travel device (with built-in battery) can support only repeater modee for TP LINK router with WDS enabled, because it's useless in most of cases, but that's my fault - I should read manual before shopping.

Wyglada na to, ze w manualu jest informacja, ze ten repeater wymaga pracy w trybie WDS. Jestem zaskoczony tym, ze repeater typowo podrozny (z wbudowana bateria) wymaga tego trybu poniewaz w wiekszosci wypadkow bedzie on bezuzyteczny. Jednak to moja wina, poniewaz powinienem to dokladnie sprawdzic przez zakupami.

Unfortunately, there is no rule, WDS is not standardized.

Niestety nie ma na to reguły, tryb WDS nie jest ustandaryzowany.

Yes, and it's not enabled on hotel routers, so this device is useless for travellers.

Tak i jest nieaktywny w routerach hotelowych. Tak wiec urzadzenie jest nieprzydatne ludziom podrozujacym.
