Model: Archer VR300  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I have 2 VR300's one is ex office and have brought it home to extend the network coverage as an access point. So far

1) Done a factory reset on the AP unit

2) Set IP address to 192.168.1.250

3) Turned off DHCP

4) Rebooted

5) Connected AP to Router using ethernet LAN to LAN connection

6) Router cable connection lights up green when cable plugged in

7) AP has orange flashing lamp.

8) AP wifi connections are visible and can be connected to.

 

What have I missed??

Here's the guide for setting VR300 in AP mode.

Keep both devices in DSL Modem Router mode.

According to your steps there's nothing missed.

After rebooting the VR300 AP and connecting it to the main VR300 (LAN=>LAN) you should be fine.

@terziyski just one question remains, the configuration is now up and running with the two VR300 connected by long ethernet cable and 4 wifi nodes configured. WHich all appears to be working. But!!! the remote VR300 (without ADSL connection) just has an orange flashing lamp on it no green lights etc indicating LAN connections or wifi connections. Is this correct?
