Thanks! I actually used some of this along with some trial and error on my own and figured out how to get it to work..this is what I did:

1. Use my rooted Nexus 7 and MacMan to spoof my TP-Link's MAC (making sure that the router is unplugged) and then sign into the network.
2. Forget the network on my Nexus 7
3. Repeat…

I have a conundrum that I can't seem to solve (hoping that the IT geniuses on here can help)
