What is your IP address when connected to the LAN in your building?
If something like 192.168.mmm.nnn, then your building is on a NAT/PAT
router, and you'll probably need to configure your Tp-Link wireless
router as a wireless access point, as described in the How To wiki
below.

Since the Tp-Link wireless router has security enabled, you'll only be
able to connect wirelessly with matching security. Check the user guide
for how to hard reset the Tp-Link wireless router back to factory
default settings. Or, if it has wired LAN port(s), try using a wired
connection.
