[vortune]

hello, i just bought tl-wr841N , i plugged the cable correctly, im using utp cable from Wan port in the router to Lan port in Adsl modem. from the tp link web interface , i did the quick setup and choosed Dynamic IP from ISP, and changed the lan to 192.168.3.1(Basic 192.168.1.1) , From the wireless section i also tried to Turn on the ssid broadcast and bridge, but when i connect the wifi from phone, it appears , but i cant use it to open,for example google youtube etc. Any solution? sorry for my english

You need to put your modem in modem only mode or bridge mode, you dont want 2 routers!

Plug the ADSL router into a yellow Ethernet port on the tplink not the blue wan port.

Them reset the settings on the tplink & setup your wireless network.the way you're doing it is wrong , there will be 2 DNS addresses & dchp conflicts.

Doing it the way I said uses the router solely as a wired/wireless access point.

You will have to set a second/seperate wireless network on the tplink this way but its far easier.

Okay, so we need to plug the cable to both Router on the LAN Port? Then should i do the quick setup from TP-LINK Web Interface? Because if i do the tp link quick setup it will say ,. The Cable didnt plugged in correctly. But if i didnt do the Quick Setup , this tp link just wont work. can you tell me step by step for it? Sorry for burdening you. But i am a Newbie Here. Thanks !

Exactly the info above, reset the tplink with the reset button.
Plug it directly to the PC , login to it , change the into 192.168.111 (rarely ever used automatically & easy to remember), disable dchp.

Save setting s , disconnect.

Replug your ADSL router to pc.
Plug ADSL router Ethernet out to Ethernet on tplink.

You'll have a seperate wireless signal (the default one) off the bat this way, you can then login with 192.168.1.111 & change the wireless setup

First,i changed it to 192.168.1.111 , and then i tried it but i got endless "obtaining ip address" , and i thought my gateaway is 0.1 so it should be 192.168.0.111 ,but same problem, endless obtaining ip address..
