I have main router (192.168.0.1) and severals PCs connected to it, then I have another router (192.168.0.102 - this is the IP assigned to the router by the main router).
I want to use the secondary router as switch only (adn for Wi-fi) so all PCs no matter to which router they are connected could see each other in the network for file sharing.
So I have to set LAn and WAN to be in the same subnet as the main router ? It still gives me error that lan and wan cannot be in same subnet etc. When I disable DHCP I canno access the router anymore so I have to reset it.
Isn't there any guide how to configure this TP-LINK Archer C5 as "bridge" only ?
Thanks.
I cannot set LAN IP to be the one in the first router range because it says that the WAN and LAN IPs cannot be in the same subnet. – Dakado – 2016-04-10T19:46:09.437
You missed the first paragraph. If you cannot disable the WAN, set it to a subnet that you aren't using. – David Schwartz – 2016-04-10T21:03:37.800
Once I disable DHCP server I cannot access the router anymore. This TP-LINK has terrible settings. – Dakado – 2016-04-11T13:40:36.557
@Dakado Manually configure your machine to an IP address inside the same subnet as the router's LAN IP. Or reset it to factory settings and start over. – David Schwartz – 2016-04-11T18:36:01.540
Doesnt work at all, router refuses to work while disabled DHCP, I solved it with another switch right before the router. So all the devices are connected via the switch and mobile devices are connected to the wifi router. – Dakado – 2016-04-12T15:54:45.093
What do you mean by "refuses to work"? What goes wrong? – David Schwartz – 2016-04-12T15:56:57.680
