After a couple of hours trying every combination as a simple access point wired into a switch (dynamic address, static IP address, DHCP service enabled or not, etc.), I gave up on the TL-WA801ND and returned it to Amazon.

First step for setting up your new AP is assign your computer/laptop to a static IP address

:Now punch into your browser the AP's current DHCP static IP address, it should bring you into the TP-Link config page

The one thing you should always do with a access point is give it a static ip address if you don't you could have problems

Doesn't support NAT (to split one IP address into multiple addresses), which basically means that if multiple devices are connected, only one of them can access the internet, for at least some of the internet providers (mine is Charter)

After a couple of hours trying every combination as a simple access point wired into a switch (dynamic address, static IP address, DHCP service enabled or not, etc.), I gave up on the TL-WA801ND and returned it to Amazon.

Found their IP addresses from my router and then accessed the "web" setup on each one to configure SSIDs (different for each one), Password and set static IP addresses.

By default, it starts up with a static IP address

worked great excelent value for a great productthe ip address to access the settings is 192.168.0.254 upon initial powerup

My TP-LINK Access Point allows me the use of Netflix and other applications on my tv without any disruptions, as well as internet service to my PC and my tablets; it works as I had hoped

The DHCP function on this WAP does not work as it should, at least IMO.

I'm very familiar using these types of access points for remote monitoring of our power equipment, as they do fail after a time and need replacing

This product was easy to set up and worked exactly as it was described, It's very versatile with many different functional modes

I have tried everything but this thing refuses to play nice with my existing TP-Link router (TL-WR1043ND R)
