Hi Everyone, I promise... routers don’t like me! I’m trying to use an old TP-LINK AC1750 Archer D7 as a wireless bridge and followed these steps: http://blog.jeffcosta.com/2011/09/29/cre...k-routers/. Thanks to the author for clear, straightforward instructions; the only issue is that once I attempt to connect to the Archer D7 on my phone or PC, it can’t locate an IP address. When it comes to internet gear and software, I’m really confused! Anyone have any ideas why this happens after following these directions?
