@xpert17
only workaround I know, is like above told.
set the accesspoints IP to get it over DHCP. I hope you have a router with an active DHCP server.
With the dhcp-IP the AP doesn't modifies the DNS request and the WLAN Client gets the correct DNS results.

Indeed, in this case AP gets gateway address over DHCP, but still don't get DNS address (why AP itself should know DNS? oh, for instance to have the traceroute in "diagnostic tools" work properly... but never mind).

Thanks, now it works, but still I'm very dissapointed with this device. I wanted to have this AP as the DHCP server (I don't need DHCP anywhere else in the LAN but for wifi clients). How it is possible the TP-LINK sells devices with so serious bug?

Hi folks,
good news. I got in contact with german engineers (over a IT branch festival). The gateway and DNS problem will be solved in the new firmware called: 130731
I got a link from the german support team, which I will test later on.

My problem with the wired->wireless reaching, they couldn't figured out or find the issue.

So stayed tuned, for the update!

could you public here a link with patched firmware for unusable right now AP TL-WA901ND V3? I have a problem with DNS.

hi,
what's the topology of your network ?
whether you need to remote manage many access points ?

A nice guy from TP-LINK Technologies sent me beta firmware - I confirm, now the AP is working and gateway can be set manually.

Why haven't you been nice too, you should upload the file if you are not able here you can link it to mediafire or anything like it, and post the link here.
Or you can ask for interested peoples mail and send it.

I got the 130731 File and there is still not option for setting a gateway. :-(
What version do you have xpert17?

This is my link I got from tplink http://www.tp-link-support.de/firmware/TL-WA901ND/TL-WA901NDv3_130731.zip
But I still have no network config field.
AND remember, the AP will be resetted if you update. So you can reach the AP after Update over the IP 192.168.0.254

Here you are - this is the beta firmware I got from TP: http://www.mediafire.com/?7ext47lfabg9dse
Please note that you use it on your own risk. It works for me (at least the missing gateway problem is solved).

That one is even newer as mine.
thx
