    Hello... got wireless tp link plugged one into the router and the connected to wireless one with a ethernet to the laptop.

    Opened the tp link cd and changed the ssid and set a password wpa-psk. Disconnected cable opened wireless networks found my new ssid and entered my password. Disabled wireless on the upc router aswell.

    But it wont connect to the net... its local access only. So I manually entered tcp/ip settings still wouldn't work. Reset router still nothing. Is there something im missing? Do I need to disable something else in the upc router or enter a setting somewhere?

    Head is wrecked!

    Does the TP router get it's details by DHCP from the UPC router? Have you bridged the UPC router?

    Post the model number so we'll see if it's routing or an access point

    The link isn't working, it's tied t the session in your browser. Just give us the model number of the TP Link, want to see if it's routing or not.

    Ok, it's an access point. This is good because it means the other router is doing all routing. Maybe you should undo any changes you have made to the router, turn back on wireless for now.

    TP Link have a very decent 24/7 hotline. I've used it before, they will talk you through what you want to do. Lo call: 0818 229000

    Hi lads I installed these and didnt find them great so I got tl-wr2543nd router. Easy setup with cd. Works grand. Would I be better changing to the 5 ghz channel or just leave well enough alone? And if yes id have to change the upc and the tp link to 5 ghz channel?
