To configure the TP-link router as repeater connect the physical with PC/laptop using a wired connection. Power your TP Link WiFI router with adapter comes with box. Connect Lan cable to PC/Laptop LAN from the LAN port of the router. Connect Lan cable to PC/Laptop LAN from LAN port of the router.

Your router has an lan address or IP. Something like 192.168.1.1. This is what you must connect to. Each of the machines you want to connect must have (in this example) an IP number between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.225. As long as your machines all have a unique IP they should all connect to your router. Your modem will have a gateway and typically this will be something like 10.0.0.1. So setup for one machine may look like this [192.168.1.3 subnet 255.255.255.0
To find these setting, click on your lan connection, select "properties" and choose "Internet Protocol TCP/IP". Here you will see these settings. Your router guide will give you these settings, make sure you get them from your router guide.

this is one hell of an interesting question..
theoretically you should be able as long as you can configure each applicaton to work with one and only one component which I believe is not possible to configure.
there's a good article I found regarding this set up that I believe explains the reason why you may only be able to use this type of set up for fault tolerance issue but not a way to double the bandwidht access and/or make it independent one from the other. see article here
now the problem is that with the dns registration you may get 2 different ip addresses for each adapter but when a remote dns server is to resolve this, it may pick at randome what ip address to use. this means you can't control this unless the computer were to have 2 names which is unlikely to be possible.
the article also talks about metric calculations which are used by routers to determined routing in between different segments (the internet is a very complex network of routers. this explanation applies at a corporate type of level when you may have different routers routing info in between network segments (between department for example that belong to the same company) and only applicable if you have control over these router to modify how packets are sent over one link instead of the other. you only have control over one router so the situation falls out of your control as you don't need to control that router but the applications that are working with it.
on top of that, you are still using the same network connection as your router only has 1 connection to the isp provider no matter how you connect to it, you will be relying only on that bandwith wich is the defining factor on your connection speed to internet. it's sort of like buttleneck/funnel type of scenario.
bottom line: unless your application can be configured to use one network adapter, the control depends on variables out of your control. and only your computer will make those determinations based on metric and link speeds.

may find this page helpful. http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php...om_a_Bad_Fl ash Its not for the TP-Link router but the same principle could be applied to you with the correct firmware. Its worked for me on more than a few occasions. Providing you can ping the router via a lan cable then the chances of recovering it are very high.
