Hi First of all I have almost zero understanding of Router set up etc. I have a TP link router that is configured for cctv cameras, open ports etc. I have installed an FWA710 which is working fine, I have plugged the Ethernet cable in my laptop LAN port and have great speed and internet. When I plug the it into the router in place of the current internet connection (WAN port) I have no internet at router, red led illuminates. I understand I have to set the FWA up in Bridge mode. Can someone talk me through this in easy steps please.

Many Thanks

    Hi @Jim_1954 ,

    To complete your setup, please follow these steps:

    1. Reset the TP-Link Router
      • Unplug the TP-Link router from the network
      • Reset it to factory defaults (This will ensure it can properly receive the configuration from the FWA710)
    2. Configure FWA710 IP Passthrough Mode
    3. Connect TP-Link to FWA710
      • Disconnect your PC from the FWA710
      • Connect the TP-Link router to the FWA710
      • Wait for the TP-Link to obtain the IP address passed through from the FWA710
      • Verify that the TP-Link router has an internet connection
