I tried to setup my WiFi router (Tp-Link TL-WR841N) as a repeater via following the way described here:How to configure WDS function on TP-Link Wireless Routers(green UI). It works temporarily however after some time it fails to connect to the internet. Although I can connect to the router via the Laptop's WiFi; I cannot access the admin page neither I can access using ethernet cable as no IP address would land me to the admin page. Also, I am not able to connect my phone to the router as it says IP configuration failure.

  • Have you reset your router and tried again?

  • What model is your main WiFi router / access point? I have a slight suspicion that it doesn't accept WDS connections from your repeater, and it only works when you're connecting to the main AP... Jun 3, 2018 at 12:18
  • same model... I have the root access to it so I can make any changes necessary
