About Tplink router bridging and extending the signal range

In recent months has been suffering from the "broadband access" peak time, slow speed, playing game card pain, coordinated several times without fruit, hot weather also lazy trouble, and finally bought Unicom's online card.

What is the meaning of this article? Two reasons, one, I set the MAC address in the router and IP address (192) binding, when my machine through the wireless connection router, or often get the IP address is 169 start; second, my computer is Win7, but often have no access rights. These two problems bothered me for a long time, probably too many factors, because it is rent, routers and not my house, debugging more trouble, and ultimately fruitless.

On hand there is a newer tplink (wr740n) router that wants to connect to the main router by bridging, and then my computer, even my own router, wants to make sure that the two problems are not there. Check the relevant information on the Internet, the test a few times, all failed to end, online data is very much, I do not understand these people do not understand their own do not blindly write, delay others time, really want to share, then the environment models are written clearly.

These two days back home, there are exactly two wireless routers (wr740n and wr541g), again operation, success. Steps are as follows

Main router wr541g

Generally with the default IP (192.168.1.1) can be, do not have to do any other settings, not to open the wds!!!

Sub-router wr740n

1. In the network settings-> LAN port settings in the IP set to the same network segment as the main router, such as the main router is the default IP, then we can set the secondary router IP for 192.168.1.2

2. Open WDS in the-> basic settings in the wireless settings, and then look at the image below

2.1. Keep the channel number in line with the main router, click Scan to find the main router and the main main router to establish a connection, here is to note that the key type to be consistent with the main router, I am here the main router is older so use WEP encryption method, in this way also need to set the WEP key serial number, Also be consistent with the main router.

3. In the DHCP server-> DHCP service, set to not enabled, after restarting the router, connect the secondary router to normal use.

Postscript

The mode of the primary and secondary router, the secondary router is the same as the main router, or is compatible with the main router mode.

Before the test failed, my main router has set up MAC address interception, I do not know whether there is an impact, and then tested.

My understanding of the secondary router is an extension of the role of the signal, my computer through the secondary router connection, but also go to the main router DHCP (I found my MAC address in the main router, in the secondary router does not), the internet has said that also need to set up a deputy router DNS, I do not know what routines.
