Q7. How to use the WDS Bridging function to extend my wireless network? My house covers a large area. The wireless network 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 primary router. Follow the steps to configure the router. 1. Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with password you set for the router. 2. Configure the LAN IP address of the router in the same subnet as the root router. For example, if the IP address of the root router is 192.168.0.1, the IP address of the extended router should be from 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254.). 3. Go to Advanced > Wireless > Advanced Settings page and locate the WDS section. 4. Select the wireless network 2.4GHz or 5GHz appropriate to your needs and select the checkbox to enable the WDS Bridging function. 5. Click Survey to scan all the AP devices and choose the root AP to be bridged. 80
