Thanks for the reply David. Yes, an ethernet device on the second router can access the internet. The iPhone connects to the SSIDs of the second router but it does not connect to the internet and there is a yellow exclamation mark next to the SSID on the iPhone saying "no internet connection". The iPhone does get an IP address (the same as the second router). If I change the SSID to the main router, I am able to connect to the internet. Any ideas on this?

I have 2 x TPG Archer VR1600v routers and I would like to use one as an access point / extender in my living room downstairs (the main router is located upstairs). I have looked into various other threads on whirlpool and the TPG community site but haven't been able to successfully configure wifi on the access point router (secondary router). I have already changed the IP address on the secondary router to 192.168.1.254 to match the subnet of the main router, disabled DHCP and configured (new) wifi details on the secondary router. So far, the LAN to LAN connection from the main router to the secondary router works but I am unable to connect to the wifi on the secondary router – (e.g. when using my iPhone, it will see the 2.4ghz/5.0ghz SSIDs with full signal but it is unable to connect and shows "no internet connection"). Has anyone had success trying to setup a similar access point connection using the TPG provided router? Any suggestions or assistance would be appreciated!
