Hi. I bought a new router TP-LINK TL-MR3420 and have problem with configuration.

1. What I want to achieve
There is an access point in the corridor from which individual connections are routed. The cable is connected to the router's WAN port. One computer is connected to the router's LAN port, the rest of the devices are connected wireless.

2. What is the problem
After the "quick setup" of the router, all addreses in the WAN tab shows 0.0.0.0

Here are screenshots from quick setup: https://imgur.com/a/UjKv47S
And here is the summary page and WAN page: https://imgur.com/a/dRHhBN7

Not sure that I understand your configuration:

Does the following line diagram show your network and connection paths?

ISP ----->Router [WAN] ------> Access Point ~~~~wireless ~~~~> Wireless devices

Router [LAN] ---------> The "one" computer.

The Access Point should be connected to a LAN port on the router and have its' own static IP provided by the router via an reserved static IP using the MR3420's MAC.

And the static IP should be outside of the available DHCP IP address range allowed to the router.
 
If you connect to the AP from a PC rather than hooking it to your router do you get a IP address.

If you do check to be sure it is not using the same subnet as the tplink which looks like it is using 192.168.0.1 for the lan. You must change the tplink lan ip both networks are using it.

Not sure why you are doing this. It might make things easier overall if you use the tplink as a AP.

It's goes like this:

ISP --> AP --> Router [WAN] ~~~wireless~~~ Wireless devices
Router [LAN] --> PC
