Note

If the LAN IP address of the new router is in the same network segment as that of the original router,
an IP conflict occurs. In this case, the new router replaces its LAN IP address with another that
belongs to another network segment. You can log in to the web UI of the new router directly at
tendawifi.com.

If the upstream router enables the DHCP function, the new router obtains network connection
settings from the upstream router. If the upstream router disables the DHCP function, you need to
configure the connection settings manually.

In WISP mode, the new router can be connected wirelessly to a hotspot using DHCP or a static IP
address and access the internet through the hotspot.
Enabling the Client+AP Mode
Log in to the web UI of the new router, choose Wireless Settings > Wireless Repeating and
configure the router and verify the configuration as follows:

Configuration
Step 1 Set Wireless Repeating to the state.
Step 2 Set Mode to Universal Repeater.
Step 3 Select the WiFi name of the original router from the Base Station WiFi Name drop-down list
box. In this example, select Tenda_2.
Step 4 Enter the WiFi password of the original router in the Base Station WiFi Password text box. In
this example, enter 12345678. (If the password is not set on the original router, leave this text
box blank.)
Step 5 Click Save.
Step 6 Click OK on the dialog box that appears.
The settings take effect after the router restarts.
