Extend home network (not homegroup) Technicolor TG797n v3 via Access Point

Hi,

I am not too conversant with tech stuff so please bear with me and accept my misunderstandings.

 

I have a home network (not homegroup) which workes just fine connecting Desktop_1 and Laptop_1 to share files.

They communicate through my NBN Technicolor TG797n v3 (as TELSTRA BOX) which also allows them to connect to the Internet.

 

In the dungeon I only have very poor wifi qulity and run a cable (30m) there at times which also works just fine but the cable laying on the floor is a pain.

 

So, I have set up a http:tp-link TL-WDR3600 as an access point on the end of the cable from the TG797n v3 but although I can successfully access the Internet,, I dont have Network access between the desktop and laptop.

 

From  what I can find online it appears I have set the WDR3600 as a seperate access rather than as 'extension of' the Telstra NBN Technicolor TG797n v3 (as TELSTRA BOX).

 

This is what I want to achieve;

 

TG797n v3 (as TELSTRA BOX). ---------cable--------- Laptop and/or Desktop (for Network and Internet)

                       |

                   cable

                       |

                Dungeon ---------cable--------- TL-WDR3600 ---------cable--------- Laptop or

                                                                                                            WiFi              Laptop

                                                                        (for Network and Internet)

 

 

Make any sense ??

Cheers, Peter
