Q4. How to use the WDS Bridging function to extend my wireless network? 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 extend the wireless network of the root router. Note: • WDS bridging only requires configuration on the extended router. • 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. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log into with the username and password you set for the router. 2. Configure the IP address of the router: 1 ) Go to Advanced > Network > LAN, 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. Note: Log into the web management page again if the IP address of the router is altered. 3. Survey the SSID to be bridged: 1 ) Go to Advanced > System Tools > System Parameters and focus on the 2.4GHz WDS section, click Enable WDS Bridging. 2 ) Click Survey, locate the root router's SSID and click Choose (Here we take TP-LINK_2512 as example). 3 ) If the root router has wireless password, you should enter the wireless password of the root router. 4 ) Click Save. 78
