Tenda N300 N301 AC5 WiFi Router AP Access Point Setup

I have ethernet running to my Fios modem/router on either end of a very long house. I wanted to set the modem/router and Tenda routers to have the same network name (SSID) and password so it would auto-connect from anywhere in the house. To do this, use AP (Access Point) mode.

Notes

  • I used an ethernet cable from laptop to WAN port of router.
  • Power on Router
  • If not using ethernet cable, connect to new router WiFi (Tenda_xxxx)
  • Go to http://192.168.0.1 (see install docs if this changes)
  • Click Okay to Continue from initial page
  • Go to "Internet Settings" tab and click "AP" mode. and click OK. Modem will reboot
  • Remove ethernet cable from the laptop
  • After the reboot, connect by WiFi to the router (Tenda_xxxx)
  • Check you have upstream internet connection. If not, troubleshoot!
  • Go to http://tendawifi.com to access the admin page.
  • Click on the "Wireless Settings" tab
  • Configure your network name (SSID), password type (WPA2?) and secret to be identical to your modem/router settings
  • Click OK. Modem will reconfigure itself.
  • If equipment confused, power-cycle router and turn wireless off/on on devices.
  • Connect WiFi to the network name (SSID) you configured
  • Enjoy!
