hi, just installed a brand new WAP, TL-WA801ND. fairly quick setup for Client mode with static IP addr 192.168.1.2. it connects to mobile hotspot successfully; i can see it listed on the phone. its ethernet port is directly connected to the WAN port of Linksys with WAN connection type set to DHCP and LAN static ip addr 192.168.1.1 of course, all my local LAN connections work as before but i am not getting to the internet via WAP. i test this by disabling all wifi connections on my desktop and with only the LAN wired connection, i can not get to internet. there are few settings & behaviors i don't understand: 1) on Linksys, its status shows WAN ip addr to be 192.168.1.1 (its LAN addr) despite the DHCP connection type. why is this? shouldn't it get it from the attached WAP? 2) on WAP, i've tried to set its ip setting to what it calls "smart IP (DHCP)" which i understood that it would be assigned one from the hotspot. but that setting didn't seem to help either. hope you can shed some light... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pavowren's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=51958 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110232 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
