Model: TL-WA801ND  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 3.13

I purchased the TL-WA801ND to use to add devices to my single point hotspot on my phone. The phone only allows one device to connect to it at a time, I need to have it share

two printers, two laptops and two TV's. Don;t use them all at the same time, just don't want to have to connect and disconnect all the time. My laptops have to have it and the printer on same wifi connection to be able to print. I tried using the repeater mode but that seems to just repeat the same single connection, I tried the AP bridge mode but that seems to require a wired lan. Does this device do this?

 

Thanks for any help.

No, you are using an access point that does not share a single connection. You need to find a device that creates its own network like the TL-WR902AC.
