Router tplink845 wireless Bridging method:
The main and the secondary routers through the wireless bridge, the wireless terminal may connect the main, the auxiliary router surfer, the movement process may automatically switch, realizes roams. The topology is as follows:
To confirm the wireless signal name, wireless password, and wireless channel of the main router, this article uses the following parameters for example:
Note: The main operation of wireless bridging (WDS) is done at the secondary router, with only the wireless channel of the primary router fixed.
1, modify the management IP address
Login router's management interface, click Network Parameters >> LAN port settings, modify IP address (such as the main router IP address is 192.168.1.1, then the secondary router modified to 192.168.1.2), save and restart the router.
Note: After reboot, use the modified IP address to login to the management interface of the secondary router.
2, modify the wireless settings and open the WDS scan signal
Use the modified IP address to login to the Router management interface, click Wireless Settings >> wireless basic settings, set the same SSID number and channel with the main router, check open WDS, click Scan.
3, select the main router signal
Locate the wireless SSID of the primary router in the Scan page and click Connect.
Note: If the primary router signal is not scanned, verify that the primary route is wireless and try to reduce the distance between the primary and secondary routers.
4, enter the password
Enter the wireless password for the main router at the key location and click Save when the input is complete.
5. Set up the wireless password of the auxiliary router
Click Wireless Settings >> Wireless security settings, choose the same encryption mode as the main router, set the same wireless password in the PSK password as the main router, and click Save.

When the reboot is complete, in the router's admin interface, click Run Status, observe the wireless status >> WDS status, and the display succeeds indicates that the bridging WDS Setup was successful.
This wireless bridging (WDS) Setup completes, the wireless terminal connects the Zhangsan, the wired computer connects the main, the auxiliary router's LAN port to be able to surf the Internet. In the process of terminal movement, automatic roaming between main and secondary routers can be realized.
Note: After the wireless bridging (WDS) setting is complete, the secondary router will only power on and no other settings are required.
