About

The TL-WA801ND is a white curvilinear plastic box with molded designs that make it look like it's supposed to be some sort of vaguely organic alien technology.

How to

  • Reset: turn off, press the recessed "Reset" button with a paper-clip, turn on, let go.

using device as a conduit to cell data

Taking notes at this point.

Reset device, connect wirelessly, then access http://tplinkap.net; this brings up the device's web UI.

The two choices seem to be "Bridge with AP mode" or "Client mode"; I'm not actually sure how they each function differently. "Bridge with AP mode" doesn't seem to work, so trying "Client mode" with DHCP off (let the phone do DHCP).

Some information from the device:

  • device ("LAN") IP: 192.168.0.29.
  • main router MAC: CC-61-E5-BE-CF-BE
    • ...where in this case the "main router" is the phone

Then press [finish] button, which reboots the device. After that, device's SSID no longer shows up. Connecting to the main network (router is already configured to talk to the device), the UI is accessible through http://192.168.0.29... and we have internet.
