Advice using WA830RE as access point
Region : France
Model : TL-WA830RE
Hardware Version : V2
Firmware Version :
ISP : Orange
Hello
I bought this model to use as a range extender but I am not happy with the performance, one day it works, the next day it doesn't. I have wired ethernet in the house so I have decided to use it as an access point for downstairs where the WiFi doesn't reach. Pro = much more reliable and faster, con = 2 networks
I couldn't get it working at first and tech support said I had to use WEP instead of WPA. This got it working but does anyone know why I can't use WPA?
I am not keen on using WEP as I can't set an easy to remember password and this is for a guesthouse
Also, I assume there is no way of using this as an access point and not having two networks broadcast to avoid the reconnect?
Thanks in advance!
