Just bought two Trendnet TEW-637AP access points, with the intention of bridging them to extend my network range. Right out of the box, following the instructions to the letter and the supplied setup wizard can't detect either AP through a wired connection. Cannot access the APs using the default IP address either. What do I do?

Your router is no longer being manufactured so be aware!
TRENDnet makes the following range extender that is quite affordable at only $29 bucks:

For trendnet

Your Trendnet wireless router lets you broadcast your home network across your entire house, so you can access the Internet in any room. This signal may be powerful enough to extend into neighbors' houses, where they could easily jump on the network if it is unsecured. To protect your network, set up Wireless Encryption Protocol, or WEP, to encrypt data and prevent access unless the user enters the correct password.

Type "http://192.168.0.1" in your Internet browser's address bar and press "Enter." Enter "admin" for the username and leave the password field blank. Click "Log In" to log into your Trendnet wireless router's administrative program. Click "Wireless" from the left pane of the "Basic" tab. Click "WEP" under the "Wireless Security Mode" section at the bottom of the screen. Enter your preferred password for the network. A strong password is made up of a random selection of numbers and letters. Click "Save Settings" at the top of the screen to save your WEP settings.

Solutions
1.Change your wifi if you have 2 or more
2.Unplug your wifi for 30 - 60 secs and plug in again
3.Keep restarting the wifi
4.Wait till 1 month till you pay for the next wifi money then try again ( works for me )

If all of it doesn't work, then i have no idea...

You may be trying to connect through a G or B device to your N router. Verify that there are no serious obstructions or that the pc is not underneath something or enclosed. Metal near the pc can cause the signal to lose strength. Not having a wireless N card or adapter can also cause this.

Also if you are trying to connect through ethernet cable verify that windows is being assigned an automatic ip address, if it is static in windows change it to automatic.

WLAN light will give you the status of your wireless connection. If WLAN light is off, it might be a possibility that wireless has been turned off or worse is the device had stopped broadcasting a wireless signal. you may try using 192.168.1.1 to get into the setup page of the device to check if wireless has been disabled.

hello!
-- what is the exact model number of your access point and router?
-- what is the ip address of your access point and router?
-- what is the operating system of your computer?
-- Is your computer directly connected to the router?
-- Do you have a wireless computer? what is the model number of the wireless adapter

if you want to configure your access point with your router you may try the ff:
Step 1: Connect the Ethernet port of the access point to one of the Ethernet ports of the router
Step 2: Make sure the power adapter is plugged to an available power outlet
Step 3: Check if the corresponding LEDs on the access point are lit
Step 4: After connecting the devices together, configure the access point’s wireless settings
Step 5: Open the access point’s web-based setup page
Step 6: When the access point’s web-based setup page opens, change the SSID, Channel, and Wireless Security.
