Hello,

I want to setup TP-LINK TL-WA801ND as an acces point in our school. I’m using a static IP and I'm trying to set it up in a way that it doesn't conflict with other IP's.

Do I have to disable DHCP, so the AP assigns different IP's to users that connect to our wifi network? Is this possible or do I need a different device?

OK, well, whatever Range you set the static in, you need to make certain that DHCP cannot hand those IP address out. So, if Wireless AP are set for 192.168.10.20-192.168.10.40, make certain that your DHCP has those as excluded from RANGE!

thank you for your reply. is it possible to configure AP so it would give out different IP's then the ones used on our network?

YEs, but they will need to placed into a container. then when that PC is on the network, the container controls what scope they get.
