Help with Sky Router and TP Link AP

[dk345]

Hi Guys,

I've been tearing my hair out for the past two nights after work, so I've given in now. Hopefully somebody here will be able to set me straight.

I have a Sky SR101 router downstairs. The house is big, with thick walls and as such the wireless won't reach up to the third floor. To counter this, I purchased some TP Link powerline adapters to move internet upstairs and they all work fine.

My plan now is to attach the TP Link WA901ND access point to the powerline adapter to give better wireless signal to the upper floors of the house. But I just cannot get it to work. According to the Chinglish instructions supplied on the TP Link site, it should be as simple as setting the AP to Access Point mode and plugging the ethernet cable in. However, any machine that connects wirelessly when this happens just gets "No Internet Access" in the control panel.

I'm at my wit's end. I really don't know what to do. Someone help me

TL;DR : Have Sky Router -> Powerline -> TP Link AP, all devices connecting to AP cannot get internet connections. Halp pls.

Have you checked that the AP's DHCP server is disabled?

What does an ipconfig /all on one of the machines show?

Well. This is embarrassing. I decided to reset the AP to default settings and try again... again, so as to give you a nice clean slate to work on.

Low and behold, it's all working well now. I seriously don't know what I did different, and to be fair, I don't much care either

Thank you for your willingness to help though bremen1874; much appreciated.
