@Dear Ben,
Please follow the steps:
1. Disconnect the cable of that connect the WAN port of the WR3000 to the main router. 2. Login to the web page of WR3000, Set it to Wireless Access Point mode.
3. Disable the DHCP server on the “Advanced Settings” page.
4. Connect the WR3000 to the LAN port of the main router.
Then check if the problem fixed?
Hi, recently bought the WR3000 and want to use it as access point. I can reach the internet with connected device while using the factory settings, but as soon as I do the quick setup it loses the connection to the internet router. The WR3000 and the internet router are connected by cable.
@Dear Emil,
Sorry to tell you that TR1200 is a 100Mbps ethernet port router. Can only support 100Mbps. It is not a gigabit ethernet port router.
“Hello, I bough the TR1200 travel router as an access point for my room, but after connecting it to my LAN wifi only reaches speeds of up to 75Mbps even though my Ethernet reaches up to a Gigabit per second on the same devices. The router is right beside the PC I’m testing on. The listing said it could reach speeds up to 867Mbps, could there be some sort of lock on my routing speed?”

@Dear Arnab,
Is your existing router a Cudy router which support Cudy mesh function? If yes, you can install mesh system with a new M1200 and your existing Cudy router via both Wired or Wireless backhaul. If not Cudy router, you can’t install mesh system with them. But you can connect the M1200 to your existing router via cable. You can also set the M1200 to WISP or Range Extender mode to connect to your existing router via Wi-Fi.
“Hello!
If I get an M1200 and want to set it up as an access point to my existing router, do I need to keep it connected to my existing router via LAN? Or I can set it up in a separate room from where my existing router is and it will act as a mesh?”
