Hook up MR1100 to Wifi Router
I had an old Unite Pro that had to be hooked up through USB to a Cradlepoint which was then connected to my main rifi router. This new router has a lan port. When I plug it straight into my wifi ro...
Hi agdodge4x4 looking at your network picture I can see you have set your router in a different subnet to the M1. This will be why you can't talk to the router.
I'm assuming the M1 is being used as the sole modem access to the internet
Here is how I would approach this set up.Turn off IP passthrough on the M1 . I would enable DHCP in the M1 and disable DHCP in any other devices that run DHCP as a server( ie. is leave DHCP client enabled, but servers off) . Have a look at the M1 settings> router setup page and you will see DHCP start and end address, mine is from 192.168.1.20 - 192.168.1.99 . Set the ip of the router you are trying to access to either a DHCP client or a static ip outside the M1 Server range , eg would be 192.168.1.100 for router 1 and 192.168.1.101 for router 2(do not use 192.168.1.1 as your M1 is most like using that as the gateway address, see at the top of setup page).
You should be able to access the internet fine and access both routers now as they are now within your subnet and won't accidentally conflict with the M1 DHCP service.
Or
If you don't know how to change the IP of router 1 and router 2 then you could go to settings > setup > router setup and change the M1 gateway address to 192.168.0.1 and then the M1 DHCP starting address to 192.168.0.20 , end address to 192.168.0.99. IP passthrough off . Reboot the M1, then after it has started reboot all your other devices to get a new address and you should still have net access and be able to access routers 1 and 2
OK. So if I set it up like you suggested, what do I plug my ethernet cable from the M1 into? An ethernet port on the main router, or do I use the WAN port?
:smileymad:
That setup rendered my TPLINK USELESS!!!!
I cannot access it now. Not over wifi. Not over direct connect. NOTHING. ARGGGGGHHHHHHHH......
Im so freakin PISSED right now.

You can do a reset of the tplink if something has gone wrong(should be a button at the back of the tplink). As for connecting the modem to the tplink, I would connect it to one of the LAN ports. As for what went wrong, hmm did you change the ip on the LAN page to 192.168.1.100 or the WAN page? It should have been the LAN IP basically we are setting your router up as a access point so the WAN information is irrelevant
I found a tplink FAQ on this method http://www.tp-link.com.au/faq-1199.html which shows you where the settings are in the tplink
- I could not resolve error message networking error data offloading disabled due to conflicting IP address when i tried to do data offloading with MR 1100 until I read your suggestion. it worked perfectly. Many thanks.
Ethernet quit working on MR1100 any suggestions wi fi works great
Hi fire703
Have you tried a different cable,
is the cable you are using a straight through or a cross over,
do you get a termination light when it is plugged in,
have you tried plugging the other end of the M1 cable into a different device,
have you tried plugging a differnt device into the device port the M1 is currently using,
also inspect the ethernet port and make sure there isn't anything in there,
or any of the pins bent out of place.
