    I have a Imagine Motorola Wimax router, TPLink Access Point and TPLink 4 port LAN switch.

    Is it possible to have the TPLink do all the DHCP addressees so that the wimax router and the tplink access point control panels are accessible at the same time?

    Normally you would want the Wimax device to hand out DHCP, and so you would connect the wimax to the LAN switch, and connec the LAN swith to the access point. In the acces point you would disable DHCP so the wimax device gives out all IPs.

    If your TP link has a WAN and a LAN port, then you can do what you want. Connect the Wimax to the WAN, and the switch to the LAN. Enable DHCP in the TPlink access point and it should give out the IPs.
