Hello all,
I have just moved into a new house and had virgin fibre optic installed. The range of the superhub in this house is quite bad though- it just about covers 2 of the 3 floors. I have run 30m of Cat5e to the top of the house and am going to install a 5 port gigabit switch next week. However, I want to use my TP-Link ADSL router as an access point upstairs to boost signal.
I want to run an ethernet cable from the switch into the router and then have it forward all wireless traffic to the superhub downstairs. I don't want to use WDS as it means I can only have a maximum of WEP security.
However, I am a bit stuck as to what to do. I have set the TP-Link's DCHP server to relay mode- pointing to the IP of the superhub. I think I need to set the default gateway of the TP-Link router as the superhub, but am unsure as to how to do this and any further steps I need.
Thanks in advance.
