About Tplink router bridging (extended signal range)

In recent months has been suffering from the "broadband access" peak period, slow speed, playing the pain of the game card, coordination of several times without fruit, hot days also bother to trouble, and finally bought Unicom's Internet card. (suspicion of advertising.) This is the truth. ）

So, what's the point of this blog post? Two reasons, one, I set the MAC address in the router and the IP address (192) binding, when my machine through the wireless connection router, or often get the IP address is the beginning of 169; second, my computer is Win7, but there are often no access rights. These two problems have plagued me for a long time, there may be too many factors, because it is renting, routers and not in my house, debugging more trouble, and ultimately no fruit.

There is a newer tplink (wr740n) router on hand that wants to connect to the main router via bridging, and then my computer connects to my own router, and I want to make sure that I don't see just the two problems. On the Internet to check the relevant information, test a few times, are unsuccessful, online information is much, really do not understand these people do not understand that they do not write blindly, delay others time, really want to share, then the environment model are written clearly.

These two days back home, just have two wireless routers (wr740n and wr541g), again operation, success. The steps are as follows:

Primary router wr541g

typically with the default IP (192.168.1.1), no other settings are required, not to open WDS ...

Secondary router wr740n

1. Set the IP to the same network segment as the primary router in LAN port settings, such as the default IP for the primary router, then we can set the IP of the secondary router to 192.168.1.2

2. In basic settings, in wireless settings, turn on WDS and look at the image below

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

3. In DHCP server, DHCP service, set to not enabled, after restarting the router, the secondary router is connected to normal use.

Postscript:

The mode of the primary secondary router, the secondary router will be the same as the primary router, or it is compatible with the primary router. Before the test failed, my main router has set up MAC address interception, I do not know whether there is an impact, and then test again. I understand that the secondary router is the role of an extended signal, my computer through the secondary router connection, but also go to the main router's DHCP (I found my MAC address in the main router, not in the secondary router), the internet has said that also need to set up the sub-router DNS, do not know what the routine.
