how to turn a router into an access point
if you just purchase a new router to expand your wireless network you may need to turn one of them into an access
point this tutorial is going to show you
how to turn a router into an access
point including two parts.
part one : if the router supports ap mode your topology may look like this
wr941nd v5 , tl-wr941nd v5 dd-wrt , wr941nd v5 openwrt , wr941nd v5 firmware , wr941nd v5 firmware download , wr941nd v5 gargoyle , wr941nd v5.1 openwrt
part two : the router doesn't support AP
mode your topology may look like this
wr941nd v5 , tl-wr941nd v5 dd-wrt , wr941nd v5 openwrt , wr941nd v5 firmware , wr941nd v5 firmware download , wr941nd v5 gargoyle , wr941nd v5.1 openwrt
preparation before we start you need to
know how to find the IP it will be
rounded wr941nd v5 , tl-wr941nd v5 dd-wrt , wr941nd v5 openwrt , wr941nd v5 firmware , wr941nd v5 firmware download , wr941nd v5 gargoyle , wr941nd v5.1 openwrt
just connect a computer to a router via
Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable if your computer
is a Windows computer right-click on the
network icon and open network and
sharing center click on the network
you've connected to and click on details
wr941nd v5 , tl-wr941nd v5 dd-wrt , wr941nd v5 openwrt , wr941nd v5 firmware , wr941nd v5 firmware download , wr941nd v5 gargoyle , wr941nd v5.1 openwrt
look for the ipv4 default gateway and
that is the IP address of the rap
at the to click on search type in CMD in
the search bar an open command prompt
wr941nd v5 , tl-wr941nd v5 dd-wrt , wr941nd v5 openwrt , wr941nd v5 firmware , wr941nd v5 firmware download , wr941nd v5 gargoyle , wr941nd v5.1 openwrt
man prompt window type in ipconfig and
hit enter again look for the default
gateway that is the IP address of the
router

if you're on a Mac go to System
Preferences click on network click on
advanced
click on TCP / IP and look for router
that is the routers IP a terms

now part one if the router supports a
Peter
wr941nd v5 , tl-wr941nd v5 dd-wrt , wr941nd v5 openwrt , wr941nd v5 firmware , wr941nd v5 firmware download , wr941nd v5 gargoyle , wr941nd v5.1 openwrt
connect to the router which is to be the
access link
wr941nd v5 , tl-wr941nd v5 dd-wrt , wr941nd v5 openwrt , wr941nd v5 firmware , wr941nd v5 firmware download , wr941nd v5 gargoyle , wr941nd v5.1 openwrt
and then open a web browser
to the URL type in the routers IP
address click enter
log into the router
wr941nd v5 , tl-wr941nd v5 dd-wrt , wr941nd v5 openwrt , wr941nd v5 firmware , wr941nd v5 firmware download , wr941nd v5 gargoyle , wr941nd v5.1 openwrt
on the main screen click on advanced to
the top then click on operational tubes
access point and click Save
verify by clicking yes
wr941nd v5 , tl-wr941nd v5 dd-wrt , wr941nd v5 openwrt , wr941nd v5 firmware , wr941nd v5 firmware download , wr941nd v5 gargoyle , wr941nd v5.1 openwrt
and the router will reboot itself
wr941nd v5 , tl-wr941nd v5 dd-wrt , wr941nd v5 openwrt , wr941nd v5 firmware , wr941nd v5 firmware download , wr941nd v5 gargoyle , wr941nd v5.1 openwrt
after reboot connected two routers
together
wr941nd v5 , tl-wr941nd v5 dd-wrt , wr941nd v5 openwrt , wr941nd v5 firmware , wr941nd v5 firmware download , wr941nd v5 gargoyle , wr941nd v5.1 openwrt
the land port of the main router will go
to the land port of the access point
wr941nd v5 , tl-wr941nd v5 dd-wrt , wr941nd v5 openwrt , wr941nd v5 firmware , wr941nd v5 firmware download , wr941nd v5 gargoyle , wr941nd v5.1 openwrt
wr941nd v5 , tl-wr941nd v5 dd-wrt , wr941nd v5 openwrt , wr941nd v5 firmware , wr941nd v5 firmware download , wr941nd v5 gargoyle , wr941nd v5.1 openwrt
reconnect to the AP and open the web
interface via tp-link Wi-Fi dotnet
log into the access point
and run the quick setup to customize
your Wi-Fi settings
wr941nd v5 , tl-wr941nd v5 dd-wrt , wr941nd v5 openwrt , wr941nd v5 firmware , wr941nd v5 firmware download , wr941nd v5 gargoyle , wr941nd v5.1 openwrt
go to the Status page and look under
Network for IP address
wr941nd v5 , tl-wr941nd v5 dd-wrt , wr941nd v5 openwrt , wr941nd v5 firmware , wr941nd v5 firmware download , wr941nd v5 gargoyle , wr941nd v5.1 openwrt
this is the IP address that the main
router has a sign
wr941nd v5 , tl-wr941nd v5 dd-wrt , wr941nd v5 openwrt , wr941nd v5 firmware , wr941nd v5 firmware download , wr941nd v5 gargoyle , wr941nd v5.1 openwrt
you can also use his IP address to get
into the web interface
wr941nd v5 , tl-wr941nd v5 dd-wrt , wr941nd v5 openwrt , wr941nd v5 firmware , wr941nd v5 firmware download , wr941nd v5 gargoyle , wr941nd v5.1 openwrt
you can also open the web interface of
the main router
go to DSP client list and check the IP
address of the access point
wr941nd v5 , tl-wr941nd v5 dd-wrt , wr941nd v5 openwrt , wr941nd v5 firmware , wr941nd v5 firmware download , wr941nd v5 gargoyle , wr941nd v5.1 openwrt
now your topology may look like this
wr941nd v5 , tl-wr941nd v5 dd-wrt , wr941nd v5 openwrt , wr941nd v5 firmware , wr941nd v5 firmware download , wr941nd v5 gargoyle , wr941nd v5.1 openwrt
you can always come back to the web
interface via the IP
wr941nd v5 , tl-wr941nd v5 dd-wrt , wr941nd v5 openwrt , wr941nd v5 firmware , wr941nd v5 firmware download , wr941nd v5 gargoyle , wr941nd v5.1 openwrt
you can customize your Wi-Fi settings

click on wireless the wire the settings
then choose your network name and
password and click Save when done
reminder the IP of your main router and
exit point are different from this tutorial
here are a list of routers that support
access point mode
part two if the router does not support
VP mode
wr941nd v5 , tl-wr941nd v5 dd-wrt , wr941nd v5 openwrt , wr941nd v5 firmware , wr941nd v5 firmware download , wr941nd v5 gargoyle , wr941nd v5.1 openwrt
please first find the IP of the main
router and refer to preparation in this
case it's 192.168.0.1 we want to add a
device to this router
we'll need to give it an IP between
192.168.0.1 nine two dot one six eight
dot zero dot 2x4
in this case we pick 192.168.0 not to
for the AP
wr941nd v5 , tl-wr941nd v5 dd-wrt , wr941nd v5 openwrt , wr941nd v5 firmware , wr941nd v5 firmware download , wr941nd v5 gargoyle , wr941nd v5.1 openwrt
connect to the old router that you want
to be
wr941nd v5 , tl-wr941nd v5 dd-wrt , wr941nd v5 openwrt , wr941nd v5 firmware , wr941nd v5 firmware download , wr941nd v5 gargoyle , wr941nd v5.1 openwrt
and same find out his IP address
wr941nd v5 , tl-wr941nd v5 dd-wrt , wr941nd v5 openwrt , wr941nd v5 firmware , wr941nd v5 firmware download , wr941nd v5 gargoyle , wr941nd v5.1 openwrt
it's also 192.168.0.1 so we need to
change it
open a web browser and log in to the
wrapper
wr941nd v5 , tl-wr941nd v5 dd-wrt , wr941nd v5 openwrt , wr941nd v5 firmware , wr941nd v5 firmware download , wr941nd v5 gargoyle , wr941nd v5.1 openwrt
go to network click on LAN LAN and click
on the address box next to IP address
change the IP address to 192.168.0 at 2
and click Save click OK to confirm
and the router will reboot automatically
wr941nd v5 , tl-wr941nd v5 dd-wrt , wr941nd v5 openwrt , wr941nd v5 firmware , wr941nd v5 firmware download , wr941nd v5 gargoyle , wr941nd v5.1 openwrt
reconnect to it and open the web
interface using 192.168.0.0
again
wr941nd v5 , tl-wr941nd v5 dd-wrt , wr941nd v5 openwrt , wr941nd v5 firmware , wr941nd v5 firmware download , wr941nd v5 gargoyle , wr941nd v5.1 openwrt
now on the left hand side click on DHCP
click on the HD settings and then
disable DHCP server
we're gonna save
wr941nd v5 , tl-wr941nd v5 dd-wrt , wr941nd v5 openwrt , wr941nd v5 firmware , wr941nd v5 firmware download , wr941nd v5 gargoyle , wr941nd v5.1 openwrt
wr941nd v5 , tl-wr941nd v5 dd-wrt , wr941nd v5 openwrt , wr941nd v5 firmware , wr941nd v5 firmware download , wr941nd v5 gargoyle , wr941nd v5.1 openwrt
in this case connecting the two routers
you will connect the two routers and via
the LAN ports land on the router as well
as land on the AP
you will not use the wind or the
wr941nd v5 , tl-wr941nd v5 dd-wrt , wr941nd v5 openwrt , wr941nd v5 firmware , wr941nd v5 firmware download , wr941nd v5 gargoyle , wr941nd v5.1 openwrt
it will function as next
thanks for what
