I wanted to make a wifi repeater as follows: only wifi connection without Ethernet cable to the main router, to provide internet access for devices connected to the TP-LINK via Wifi and cable.
After installing the latest version of Gargoyle (gargoyle_1.9.0-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr741nd-v1.bin) in router firmware, i connect to the router TP-LINK cable to the computer (because the WiFi signal of TP-LINK is initially off), having previously disconnected the LAN cable connecting the computer the main router (this is important to the main router has IP 192.168.1.1 and the TP-Link has the same IP, so there was a conflict of IP).
I changed the "IP router" of TP-LINK 192.168.1.100 and restart the router.
At this point I am connected to 192.168.1.100 to enter the TP-LINK and Connection-> Basic I set:
Code: Select all
[b]Device Configuration[/b]
Configure Device As: Gateway (Default)
[b]Internet / WAN[/b]
Connect Via: DHCP Wireless
Current IP:192.168.1.xxx
Wan Ethernet Port: Disable
[b]Local Network / LAN[/b]
Router IP: 192.168.1.100
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
DNS Servers: : Default DNS Servers Specified by ISP
[b]Wireless[/b]
Wireless Mode: Cient+AP
Operation Mode: N+G+B

SSID to Join: ••••••••••• (your main router SSID)
Wireless Channel: 1
Encryption: WPA2-PSK
Password: ••••••••••• (your main router password)
------
Access Point SSID: TP-AP-XXX (set the SSID of repeater)
Wireless Channel: 1 (same of main router)
Encryption: WPA2-PSK
Password: ••••••••••• (set the wifi password of repeater)
Broadcast SSID: Enabled
Code: Select all
Lan CHP Server Enabled (Checked)
DHCP range:
Start: 192.168.1. 101
End: 192.168.1.255
I also successfully activated the Dynamic DNS freedns.afraid.org with these parameters
Service provider: freedns.afraid.org
Domain Name: ........... (your free domain)
User Name: ........... (user name for freedns.afraid.org)
Password: ........... (password for freedns.afraid.org)
I noticed there are two separate networks, insulated from one another: the one with the devices connected to the main router and the devices connected to the TP-LINK, but for my current needs is not a problem.
