Title: Technical instructions
Post by: Varche on 15 September 2023, 09:28:49
Yesterday, I spent several frustrating hours setting up a simple internet access point using a fairly new TPlink router. Complicated a bit by trying to install Smart DNS on the access point.

Anyway, it is all working in a satisfactory manner. Flushed with success, I thought I would put another wired access point in our hacienda.

This is an extract from Linksys’s own help page!

“ However, understanding the installation instructions given in the Linksys N300 manual is very difficult for regular users. The best way to install your Linksys WiFi extender with great ease is to contact our professionals via live chat or email. They will guide you each and every step and set up your extender properly“

Ha ha . Mind you by now it will no doubt be AI on the live chat………………….
