Hi! This is not really maemo related but I figure most of the remaining guys here are familiar with setting up a wireless network so maybe you guys can help.

I brought a wifi router (http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/d...TL-WR740N#over) to my in-laws so I can extend their wifi network.
I followed these instructions to set it up: http://www.tp-link.com/en/article/?faqid=74 and successfully connected my laptop to the network and had access to the internet; however, no other device can connect to the bridge that I made. I tried my Galaxy Note 2, my N900, and my sister-in-law's iPad... only the laptop works. Any ideas? Please share your tips and I'll try them out when I get back to their place. Thanks!

Just for clarification:
Current Set-up: Modem connected to Router 1. One PC is connected in a port, the rest of the gadgets connect through wifi.
Objective: Extend range of wifi connection by installing additional router (Router 2 or R2) http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/d...TL-WR740N#over

What I did (based on this http://www.tp-link.com/en/article/?faqid=74)
1. Changed the IP address of TP-Link R2 to avoid conflict with R1.
2. Changed the channels used by both R1 and R2, used channel 10.
3. Used different SSID's.
4. Used same password. WEP, 128bit, ASCII.
5. Enabled Bridge Mode in R2, used the built-in tool to fill-in R1's details.
6. Disabled DHCP in R2.
7. Checked using my laptop. I have access to the config pages of both R1 and R2 even when I am connected to just one of those routers.

Problem: Only that laptop and nothing else can connect to the network through R2.
