TL-WA1201 as a bridge, not extender
Hi,
I just bought a TL-WA1201 and would like to build it as a bridge, i.e. wifi to the home network and broadcast itself as a different subnet. However, the only way it supports was an extender. There seems to be no way to configure it as a bridge. Can someone confirm that it can't be a bridge? If anyone knows of a good bridge, I'd appreciate if it can be posted here.
Thanks!

Hello @C.T.
I'm afraid the Access Point does not support bridge mode which can create a separate subnet when wirelessly connected to the router.
When work in AP mode and in multiple SSID mode, if you have a switch that supports VLAN, the AP 's different SSIDs could be in different VLANs.

If you need another subnet, you may consider adding more router behind the extender.
