Hello,

I have two wifi routers TP-Link WR941ND and D-Link Dir-615. TP-Link is primary router that has access to internet and D-Link is a wifi client. Everything would be good as i have access to internet on both routers, but i cannot access any stations that are connected to D-Link from TP-Link, while i can access all stations that are connected to TP-Link from D-link. Lets say TP-Link has ip 192.168.1.1 and D-Link has ip 192.168.2.1, so if my pc is connected to D-link i can ping to all 192.168.1.... adresses, but cannot ping to 192.168.2.... addresses while my pc connected to TP-Link.

I am unclear what you are doing and what you really mean by "wifi client".

Your problems sound like the standard router behind router problem. It is related to the NAT in the second router and there is no real solution other than to use the second device as a AP rather than a router. Mostly this is just recabling.

A dir-615 does not have the ability to run client mode unless you are running third party firmware. If you have done that you likely just have it misconfigured. Third party firmware is much more complex to configure and you must spend quite a bit of time learning what all these options really do.
