I place my Asus AC68U at living room then connect my Tenda AC18 on 2nd floor hall via built-in-ready wall cat5E networking cable. Try to set the Tenda AC18 as AP mode but to no avail. There is no option to set AP mode, only wireless repeater. So decided to download international firmware US_AC18V1.0BR_V15.03.05.05_multi_TD01 without the Unifi support and succesfully set the AC18 as AP mode.
Why is it local firmware does not include along AP mode option?
you can always do it the old school way when there is no dedicated AP modeWhy is it local firmware does not include along AP mode option?
- set your ip to something different from the main router but in the same subnet
- disable DHCP
- plug the cable to any of the LAN ports (not the single WAN port)
- wifi: configure at will, don't have to match main router
1 benefit of a dedicated AP mode is you can use the WAN port to connect to the main router instead of the LAN ports (not sure if this apply for all routers though)
