Hi can someone point me to a tutorial to correctly setup my openwrt based router?
I want to use my TL-WR841N as a Range extender that also provides connectivity through the lan ports too. So, for my case i have a wifi network named "NetworkA" which is my adsl router and has a few wired and wireless devices connected on it. And i want to use my TL-WR841N as a wifi range extender on different room, on which wireless and wired devices will connect to (that will be able to see the devices connected on "NetworkA").
I have tried to configure my TL-WR841N with openwrt but i had some issues in the past:
I did manage to repeat the wifi signal and provide internet access however devices connected to the TL-WR841N through wire (and probably the ones connected through wifi too) would have full internet access (having my TL-WR841N as gateway) but they would only see the TL-WR841N part of my network and not the devices connected to my "NetworkA" (lan or wifi). I experimented with my gateway and bridging settings, vlan, relayd, etc with no success.
So, is there a complete tutorial setting up openwrt in order to support Wireless Range Extension with full wireless / lan connectivity?
Thank you it works! That link clearly specifies the problem i had! However opewrt does not look so stable in my network. It has "crashed" two times already!
More problems!!! i dont know why but the wifi stops working (the "2nd" one). For no reason repeating stops, while connection to the original network continues to work (lan devices have network access). Has anyone experienced something similar?
Ok so it is a TL-WR841N v13 and I have tried 18.06.0-rc1/targets/ramips/mt76x8/ and openwrt-ramips-mt76x8-tl-wr841n-v13-squashfs. The first one looks more stable so far (currently testig it)
