Here's my situation. I have a house(yay, not a cardboard box) with a detached garage about 300 feet from where my FIOS modem is in my house. I decided last weekend to dig a trench, bought 500 ft of direct burial cat5e, and a ton of PVC and laid it into the ground all nice and neat. Bought a TPLink WR841N router, it was $20, and decided to put WiFi in my garage. My questions are as follows...
1.) There is a WAN port on the back of the router. No LAN designated ports. Just WAN and Ethernet.
2.) I disabled DHCP.
3.) I have a different name for the WiFi as to not get them confused.
(Even though I understand naming them the same from what I've read.)
4.) What am I missing that I need to do to turn this router into an AP?
5.) Cable is properly fitted with RJ45 ends. And the wires are set up for a 468B.
(That seems to be the standard from what I've read.)
I still have no connection to the internet as of right now and I'd like to change that.
The main feeder cable from the house, into the ground, and back into the garage is currently installed in the WAN slot, but I've read not to put that there. So maybe someone can help me out.
My weekend ritual is to come home, have a beer or two, grill some food with friends, hang out outside and just relax. We just wanted to do it with internet.
HALP.
