Using Modem as an access point
Model :
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version :
ISP :
I have a TP Link model TP-WR841N. It is fed from another building and I initially set it up as a Lan-Wan. There are times I need to see a computer or printer in the other building to share files or print so I researched setting it up as an access point (LAN-LAN). I found how to do it, it worked, I think there is even a document on the TP Link site. My problem is that after I disable the DHCP I can no longer get into the modem using http://tplinkwifi.net or any IP address that I try. I eventually have to reset the modem to factory defaults to get in, but then I loose the access point function. To some degree, as long as I have my password set and everything set as I want before I disable the DHCP maybe I don't need to get back into the settings and I should live with it. Any thoughts or help?
Thanks,
Wayne
