The problem with the entrance to the settings of the router. Purpose IP 169.254 …
I faced this problem, tried to configure the router TP-Link TL-MR3420, went into the admin by 192.168.1.1, decided to turn on dhcp as it was off. rebooted the router and go to this ip address could not. I did a reset, but it does not help. When connecting to a PC it gives a message with a problem in connection…. IP assigns not 192.168.1.3 for example, but 169.254…. No IP gateway!!! The same problem with access point Dlink G700AP. As I understand, then DHCP has fallen off and PC does not see the router. Help to understand.

Hello. It’s not very clear what the access point has to do with it and what the problem is.
You need to find out what the reason is. If you reset the TP-Link TL-MR3420 correctly, the DHCP server is enabled there by default. Most likely there is something in the computer. Have you tried to enter TP-Link TL-MR3420 settings from another device?
And try to manually specify IP settings on your computer. For IPv4. In the properties of the local network connection. Read more here /miscellaneous-tips-for-windows/how-to-register-ip-addresses-in-windows-7/
Admittedly, I’m not sure I understood the problem correctly.
