Tp extender

[jimpy0]

havin a bit of a mare - currently have the little black Vm 256 router linked to a wgr614v9, and am now trying to add an extender so a neighbour can mooch my signal for a while [ yes i know your not supposed to do that ] but he's forked out for the unit a Tplink tl-wa730re - am at the verge of saying stuff it and upgrading to 30mb so i get the superhub as that should make this a damn sight easier. Am fairly Pc literate but an absolutenumpty with networks, any help appreciated.

The superhub doesn't make anything easier, quite the contrary in lots of cases.

set up its mode, security key (password) etc. via ethernet linked to a system. change the web interface IP too so you haven't got 2 of the same IP's to access the router interface and extender. once set up link it up to your router not directly to your VM modem.

cheers thenry made a lot more sense and am further down the road, i have hit the 2 same ip prob. the TP has an ip of 192.168.1.254 and the wg requires an ip of 192.168.1.1-51 can i change the tp ip or can i extend the wg range upto 255 so as to include the tp - i did say i was a numpty :lol:

my network auto gets ip from provider as i dont use a static -- cheers again

your welcome is it all set up and running now? whats the signal like etc. ?

[jimpy0]

errrrm no :lol: i opened the range on the WG to 192.168.1.254 so as to accept the TPlink but when i plug it in on the lan cable all hell lets loose on the WG with the lights goin berserk. or am i doin it wrong and i shoud be on wlan only.
