Perhaps, you disabled the DHCP? If DHCP is disabled then the router will not provide you any IP address in order to access the admin page of the router. In order to access it, you will need to assign a static IP address on the computer. By the way, before disabling the DHCP make sure that you assign a static IP address on the router. Check out the link below on how to configure it as an Access Point.

Thank you so much for the welcoming. So for now i got the answer on how to make the router work as an access point. But i don't know how to reverse DHCP disable or recover the old settings to get into the router settings again. :mansad:
Please advise.
I tried the steps listed here http://www.tp-link.com/us/faq-41.html for the wireless connection and the ethernet oe of the netgear router, and the problem is still existing. I'm not able to access my router's settings!
Raghad You may push the reset button on the unit to start from scratch. I suggest that you use a paperclip to push it to make sure that it's firmly pressed.
