Gary, I think the suggestion of using the old router is causing significant confusion to the OP, and is a quite unnecessary and messy complication. The wifi in these tplink plugs works well and is really simple to set up via a web browser once the plugs are plugged in and working via the normal powerline to ethernet functionality. Dalyeb: The thing you need to do is discover the ip address of the plug. For that I recommend installing the free smartphone app 'fing' (android and ios). The plug will show as "TP-link" and "generic" - it should be easy to spot unless you have a lot of tplink networking gear... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ utgg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40900 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106581 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
