1. does everything functing properly on the tplink?
2. what mode is the tplink in? its a travel router so it has several modes. Which one are you using?
3. if you're hardwiring the netgear into the tp-link, put the netgear in access point mode.

1. Yes. My DVR test okay on the network/internet, so it is getting internet through everything.
2. It is on the client mode.
3. I'm not sure I understand this one. I can't get through the app setup on the netgear to change any modes. It says no internet connections. I can't connect to the netgear to get internet on my iPad as an expample.

connect a pc/laptop to the netgear. Theres an option during setup at the top to avoid using a phone. once its setup, then change it to access point mode. The manual goes over how to put it in access point mode.
