Looking for some help with hopefully a small issue that I've overlooked.

I have a TL-WA801ND set up as an AP connected to my main router via ethernet. (about 40m away in an outside building)

Both are set to the same SSID & Password.

Its set up with a static IP and the Gateway set as the main routers IP address, DHCP is disabled.

Wireless is set to Auto channel, 11bgn mixed, 20Mhz channel width. wireless radio and SSID broadcast both enabled.

I have a similar setup (different make AP, same SSID and password) setup inside the house on the first floor which works perfectly.

Now the issue....

I my iPhones and iPads wont connect to the TL-WA801ND wireless network, infact they cant even see the network (the SSID is there but its the extremely poor signal from the house some 40m away).

However, if I fire up my laptop (which is connected by ethernet to the main router) log into the TL's admin webpage then all of a sudden everything works fine.

I can then close the browser and it will be fine all day, however if I stray away from the outbuilding and connect to the main house signal (which it does just fine) and then come back to the TL's signal I have to go through the whole logging in to the admin panel again.

Not the end of the world but I'd like to get it fixed!

Thanks.
