Hi, because of the poor network and the old house, I need to install an access point in a remote room using a WiFi repeater for my solar power plant. Unfortunately, I can't directly connect a LAN cable to that room. I used one Zyxel WAP3205 v3 in client mode to link to my router and another in the room, both connected via LAN cables. Both have static IP addresses and the AP manages the network. Every device connecting gets its correct address from DHCP (based on MAC). However, I can't reach any internal LAN IPs or access the WAN from outside. Is there something clear I need to adjust? The Zyxel WAP3205 v3 offers limited settings. My main router is a TP-link TL-WR841N with firmware 3.16.9 Build 160624 Rel.44986n, and both Zyxels run firmware version 2.00(ABDM.5)C0. I thought about using one Zyxel only as a repeater, but the wall I'm passing through is made of concrete and steel, which greatly weakens the signal. I've attached a diagram of this configuration, as my English isn't very strong and it might sound confusing.
