Wireless network issue please help?

[NaRuTo001]

No problem.

On a related note, I just installed some 9dbi directional antanaes from ebay to replace the 2db omnidirectional ones that came with my router so that the routers can beam the wireless signal to each other better. Playing with them was a bit of a pain (though not exactly difficult) since they didn't come with instructions. That is, I had to work out in which direction the antennaes are actually supposed to work..

So that's all done now.. hopefully the issue will be fixed. Mine's an intermittent issue so it's not as easy to diagnose or see the results.

that's good but how does the problem persist when it seems to be fixed???

Anyway received the wireless router today amazingly fast shipping bought it yesterday received in a day when usually It should take up to a week.T

ried plugging it in even though it came with a software and said you should install first but I figured I'm not really setting up a new network I'm connecting to the one we already have.

Ok set mum and dads router to repeater base station (in photo above ^) um what you have to do is put in the mac address of the wireless router I just bought.done save changes.turn off mum and dads router put Ethernet into new wireless router.

instead of typing in my parents wireless router/modems IP address which usually is 192.168.1.1 ,I have to type in the address bar tplinklogin.net first time it works username admin password admin (default) next sense I'm not to familiar with the interface I went to something like wireless settings?

then changed the SSID?or network name to the same as my parents network but changed the last digits 02 the parents network name was ending with 01 so allgood

I saw a box that said something like enable wds or something which when I ticked popped up bridge mode options which said to enter mac address like repeater mode but doing the repeater only thing so entered the mac address of my mum and dads router worked thank god saved changes.

said for changes to take effect reboot router gave me a button that could reboot router,showed the rebooting progress 10%90% etc done......then came up with the network done in the task bar connected then said I had limited access no internet access tried messing with the network properties don't know how I got it working diagnostics or some sh*t?so yea happy that I got the internet working unplugged laptop and router went from living room to my sleep out set it up full bars all around my room sooooo happy tested youtube video loaded pretty quick for having half connection speed?

Anyhow I noticed the network is unsecured so I went to wifi signal in task bar clicked went on the new network right click,status,details,wireless properties,Ipv4 address said something like 192.168.1.3 pinged that into address bar says (google chrome) oops Google cannot find tried different web browser doesn't work then I remembered try what I did when I first logged in tplinklogin.net doest work takes me to a random as site that doesn't even exist but I think this could be because when I first went on the site it said which county do you live in already had united states but I had to manually type in New Zealand It worked when it was us but not when its nz so I don't know really whats going on there?

Reset router back at ground zero did everything again this time left it at location US this time it works but after went to security typed a password saved but still it says unsecured shut down just to make changes make effect but when restart still unsecured and now every time after changing any router setting a single digit starts being added onto my network name which is weird?????

After staring into the abyss of my sleep out I had to get ready for work so restarted router shut down computer and tried to take my mind off things which didn't really to be honest I'm stuck indoors because of this torrential rain..........

Finished work now writing this sitting in my sleepout router in its box as if I never got it and on 2bars of wifi never knowing if it's going to cut out like a ticking time bomb and delete this never ending sorrow post I really don't have a clue what to do can you help me I can provide some screen shots or take some photos of the router and box with a camera honestly why is my life this difficult.......................
