    Like simple devices but ...
    I got tired on the old router but I was able to connect it as an amplifier when I set the lowest WEP security level.
    now I have a new router TL-WR1043 on which WEP no longer has WPA2-PSK.
    Theoretically, I should not do anything after changing the router because the password is the same, the name of the network but I had to change the security. And now, as I see before, WRP-300 worked as an AP, I think, but it scans and the network does not catch.
    I switched as a repeater it seems to catch the network but I do not see that the signal on my laptop increases.
    How should it be set Ap or repeater and why does not want to surprise.

    PS. after uploading the new firmware I lost communication with WRP :(

    Is the IP address assigned to WRP not used by any device connected to TL-WR1043?

    WRP-300 in this case should be set in Repeater mode. Set it again in this mode, connect it to your existing Wifi network, and in the last Repeater configuration window change the SSID that will be broadcast by it.

    On the laptop, search for the SSID network you just created and try to connect to it.
    Let me know how it went.

    Now I can't run the hardware via www because I don't know what the address is anymore. After the update, it disappeared.

    On the earlier router, the same ssid worked.
    On the MAC router, I assigned it an IP address but it does not appear on the router's client list at all.

    After the firmware upgrade, he was probably assigned a default IP address (192.168.1.254). Connect it with a twisted pair to a computer, set a static IP address on the computer's network card, e.g. 192.168.1.100 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

    Check if you can now get to WRP through the browser by entering its address (192.168.1.254)

    ok I was able to connect with him today ...
    I set it as a repeater, I left the network name the same cl is to strengthen and the password the same - because it was so on the old router.
    As the wifi signal on the laptop was weak, I plugged in 8level and the dashes of the wifi range increased and I didn't have to switch anything.
    Now, it is probably just the same as 8level works, I can't log in to the router because there is a message that someone is already logged in :(
    And one more thing 8level has no IP set? I have a 10.0.0.1 network, etc. and 8level has 192.168.1.254, and is it supposed to be like that?

    You should assign it an IP address within the subnet range as on the router but outside the DHCP range.
    What is your IP address on the router and the range of addresses from DHCP?

    I have a router with 10.0.0.1
    DHCP from 10.0.0.20 to 10.0.0.40
    from 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.19 I have computers and telephones added to get the same address always after the mac address.
    8level never asked for the IP address

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around configuring the 8Level WRP-300 with a TL-WR1043 router, focusing on whether to set the WRP-300 in Access Point (AP) or Repeater mode for optimal WPA2-PSK security. The user initially faced issues after a firmware update that changed the WRP-300's IP address, making it inaccessible. After troubleshooting, it was suggested to connect the WRP-300 directly to a computer and assign a static IP to regain access. The user eventually set the WRP-300 as a repeater, maintaining the same SSID and password as the old router, which improved the Wi-Fi signal strength. However, the user encountered issues with IP address assignment, as the WRP-300 defaulted to 192.168.1.254, while their network operates on a 10.0.0.0 subnet. The discussion emphasizes the importance of ensuring the WRP-300's IP address is within the correct subnet range and outside the DHCP range of the TL-WR1043.
