    WAP Configure

    Thanks for this detailed guide. I shall proceed with it and report back. I agree - it is working so will leave for now until I have time to put your plan into action. I read that others with this model have experienced the same issue of not being able to access the AP after it has been setup...

    WAP Configure

    Thanks for your comments. That's what I need, very simple stuff - this is not my thing by some way.

Does it make any difference whether it's connected to the switch or is it best to connect directly to router ports? The second option you mention implies the TP Link...

    WAP Configure

    I have an ethernet port in my loft where wifi is not so great. I'm looking to create a WAP using a TP Link WA801ND Maybe I've looked at too many tutorials on how to best achieve this, but now find myself confused. I want simply to improve wifi in my loft so it's similar to what I get closer...
