Using AP as main router
Hi,
I have a quick question about a product I recently purchased. It's the wireless extender TL-WA830RE (http://www.tp-link.com/lk/products/d...del=TL-WA830RE)
This device has more coverage than my current router.
My doubt is: does this also work as a normal router? I don't think it has DHCP function.
I have a cable modem which connects to my current router. The cable modem is NOT a router itself, it connects directly to the internet only one device (a PC or a router). So I'd like to know if I can replace my current router with the WA830RE.
It has the function "Range extender" and also "AP". But, as I recall, AP can't assign IP addresses. Am I right?
I need to know before trying because I have to move a couple of things around because it's not easily accessed (physically).
Thanks in advance.
