Well it should if it was set to get an IP from the router. If it has a Static IP the TPLink may not pick it up because some routers only show what it knows. Some routers don't go looking for static IP's on the network so they may not list them. Try running the App i listed in my first post. it will probably show up in there. Then once you get the IP you can log into it from the browser

When you setup the Netgear as an Access Point/Bridge here and you turned off DHCP did you give the Netgear a static IP address? If not you will have to find IP address of the netgeat either by

1) Logging into TPLink and looking at the DHCP Client list and you should see the Netgear listed int here somewhere

Or 2) Use a program like Advanced IP Scanner to scan the network and find what the IP is. http://www.advanced-ip-scanner.com/download/ipscan23.exe

I have a similar setup. My room mate who owns the house has Verizon Fios but his wireless if only G. The house is hard wired and i have my Belkin N300 Setup as an Access Point and Switch so that I can get better coverage in the house and use Gigabit ports between Laptop, Desktop, and 360. I Most likely your TPLink is a 192.168.X.1 IP. I would set the Netgear to like 192.168.X.254. Here the Verizon router is 1 and my Belkin is .254. This way there is not guessing. Its either 1 or 254 since those are the two ending IP number that routers most commonly use.

In tplink dhcp list there are only 2 addresses i.e my comp and mobile....beside these no other ip's r mentioned.....
And are u saying that my primary tplink will assign ip addresses to devices connected to netgear(secondary)??
