I set it up up in Range Extender Mode, then connected via a 20 meter cat5 cable to the box on the wall where the fibre optic cable comes in. So it was effectively running in parallel with the router that my computer is plugged into. I'm guessing it's setup that I ran put a different IP address into it so it didn't clash with the existing one as you suggested - thanks.

The first router, my one - the original Asus one goes into the first rj45 port, so this may be the WAN port, and the second one TP-link went into the next "ördinary" port.

Yay!!!
