Model :

Hardware Version :

Firmware Version :

ISP :

I have this router setup, and I can access the internet through wired and wireless.
I cannot access the router through the tether app, or by typing the ip address in the browser wirelessly. But it does work when wired.
On the box it has listed features of tether app and guest network. The tether app can't find the router, and nowhere it the router setup page is there any guest network setup. This router has firmware 151217, and the only listed firmware on the website is 150921. I have DHCP disabled, as it is behind another router.
Why is there no guest network, and why won't tether app see it? Why is there no emulator for this model? If I can't get it working properly, will I have to return it? Please help me to get it work properly. Thanks.

Do you mean enter the routers ip address in my iPhone's browser, after I connect to the routers wifi in settings in the iPhone? That is what I did. Won't get to the routers logon screen.
After connecting to the routers wifi, and running Tether, Tether searches, but finds no router.

I agree, but why does the box it came in have a Tether icon on it? I have an active ticket, so I will see what they have to say.

First off, I was looking at the logon screen for my TL-WA801ND, not for my TL_WR842N. This why I had the wrong firmware number, and there was no guest network. I still couldn't access the router webpage though. So I factory reset the router, and all was fine until I turned off the DHCP. Now I can only access the router webpage through tplinkwifi.net. Then the webpage is missing text on the page, although they still can be clicked on. So basically it works the way I want it to, and I can access the webpage with tplinkwifi.net. Tether will see the router, but timeout before I can do anything with it. Why is that? (Tether version 2.8)
