Hi!
I've searched as best I can and have not found a solution.
I have Wimax Internet access here in Spain. The providers also set up a TP-Link router for me to provide Wifi Internet access round the house.
I have a problem with the speed of the Wifi and am now trying to upgrade the Wifi to 802.11n which my current router does not provide.
I have bought a Tenda W307R and am getting stuck trying to set it up. My Wimax provider told me this:-
"configure the new router in 'AP' mode. Do not use the WAN
socket, connect the ethernet cable that comes from the antenna to one
of the Switch ports (labeled 1 to 4 in most routers) and the other
wired computers here too.
Have the DHCP server of the router deactivated, as the antenna has a
DHCP server itself. And configure the router with ip 192.168.1.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
This way the router doesn't act as a router itself, it only broadcasts
your internet connection in your home. The real router is the antenna,
so there is no need of plugging another one in your local network"
I cannot find an AP mode on the router. Once I set the ip address to 192.168.1.100 in "LAN Settings" (its default is 192.168.0.1) I cannot not then "talk" to the router from my browser (whilst setting it up, I have only the LAN cable to my PC connected). I have had to do a reset to system defaults to get back to where I was. (I also tried setting it up with the cable to the Wimax box with the same result).
Any advice to get me step 1, and then further, would be much appreciated. Thanks.
