Workaround for tp-link tl-wa854re Access Point wifi extender network issue

For an unknown reason, my tp-link Wifi extender has suddenly stopped working. In fact, it didn't find anymore the DHCP server, even connected to the root Wireless network. In the network interface of a device connected to the AP I saw the following parameters obviously set by the AP as this was not in my home network range: DHCP server : 192.168.0.254 DNS server : 192.168.0.254 Gateway : 192.168.0.254 So I've simply entered this ip address in a browser from a client device of the AP, using admin/admin as user and password and set a static ip address to the AP (in Network > LAN) and disabled the embedded DHCP server (in Network > DHCP settings).

Get access on your synology nas having ssh disabled without reset when you cannot bypass the Two-Factor Authentication

Few days ago, I couldn't connect to my synology backup NAS because I've reset my phone and therefore lost my Google Authenticator's data. When I've tried to click the "Lost my phone" link, I got a message : you have exceeded your emergency code limit As this is a backup NAS, I've enabled only few services, i.e. not SSH. And there is only one administrator account on this NAS. I didn't wanted to reset my NAS and reconfigure all parameters. Hopefully for me, rsync was enabled and I had another nas available with 2FA enabled also. So I've simply overriden the google_authenticator file using rsync. That also lets me now to connect to my both NAS using the same code :) Here is the command line : rsync -avzh /usr/syno/etc/preference/admin/google_authenticator root@192.168.1.2:/usr/syno/etc/preference/admin/ 192.168.1.2 is the ip address of the NAS I wanted to get access you have to use 'root' user, not 'admin'.
