Customize Your Network Settings
¾ To enable WDS bridging function:
For example, my house covers a large area. The wireless coverage of the router I’m
using (the root router) is limited. I want to use an extended router to boost the wireless
network of the root router.
Note:
1. WDS bridging only requires configuration on the extended router.
2. WDS bridging function can be enabled either in 2.4GHz frequency or 5GHz frequency for a dual-band router. We use
the WDS bridging function in 2.4GHz frequency as example.
1. Configure the IP address of the router:
1 ) Go to Advanced > Network > LAN Settings, configure the IP address of the
extended router to be in the same subnet with the root router; (For example,
the IP address of the root router is 192.168.0.1, the IP address of the extended
router can be 192.168.0.2~192.168.0.254. We take 192.168.0.2 as example.)
2 ) Click Save to make the settings effective.
Note: Log in to the web management page again if the IP address of the router is altered.
2. Select the wireless network to be bridged:
1 ) Go to Advanced > Wireless > Advanced Settings page. Locate the WDS section
and select the Enable WDS Bridging check box to enable the WDS Bridging
function.
2 ) Click Scan to detect all available AP devices and locate the network you want
to bridge with.
