How do I configure the WDS function of a wireless router?

Brother Dai has set up a new group company. His office is located in an office building in Qingcheng. Because the building is newly renovated, he cannot adopt a clear line pattern of holes and slots, it cannot be deployed in a dark line. The initial assumption is that the general manager's office, the personnel department, the marketing department, and the finance department are equipped with desktops, laptops, and wired and wireless Internet access. Let me talk about my configuration ideas. Considering that the basic structure of a house is a reinforced concrete structure, the structure is complex and diverse, and the environment seriously degrades wireless signals, therefore, when a wireless router is used for wireless network coverage, some computers may find weak signals or cannot find signals, resulting in connection to the wireless network. In order to increase the coverage of the wireless network, each department has a wireless router, and the entire region can be perfectly covered through the WDS connection, eliminating blind spots.

1-1: Wireless Router A establishes a wds connection with the central wireless router B. A can represent any department. To simplify the process, the configurations of wireless routers in other departments are the same as those of wireless router. To enable computers in other departments to access the Internet normally, you must ensure that the computers connected to the central wireless router can access the Internet normally. Note: The Center wireless router B is the TP-LINKTL-WR941, other departments of the wireless router A is the IP-LINKTLWR340G + ).

(I) Central wireless router BTP-LINKTL-WR941) Internet Settings.

After the TP-LINKTL-WR941 wireless router is connected through a wired way, enter http: // 192.168.1.1 in IE browser, the default user name and password is admin, enter the setting interface after OK, click "Setup Wizard ", select "ADSL virtual dial PPPOE)", click "Next", enter the Internet account and password provided by the network service provider, and then click "Next ".1-2.

The above-mentioned wireless router Internet access settings have been introduced, but the Internet is not available, because there is no effective connection with the telephone line, separator, ADSL modem. Connect the phone crystal head of the telephone main LINE to the separator marked with "LINE" port, and the separator marked with "MODEM" port to the adsl modem marked with "LINE" port through the telephone LINE, the lanport of the ADSL modem is connected to the WAN port of the wireless router through the network cable. The separator is marked with the "PHONE" port, which can be connected to the telephone, and can access the Internet and conduct telephone services at the same time, in this way, the laptop or desktop of the connection center wireless router B can be connected to the wireless and wired Internet.

(Ii), center wireless router B (TP-LINKTL-WR941) settings.

(1) login center wireless router B (TP-LINKTL-WR941) interface, in the "Wireless Settings-Basic settings", set "SSID", "channel ",1-3.

SSID settings:

The SSID set by the wireless router that creates a WDS network can be different. In this case, the client cannot implement wireless roaming in this network. To achieve wireless roaming, you must set the same SSID.

Channel settings:

The channel selected for the wireless router that creates the WDS network must be the same. Generally, the router channel is "automatically selected". We recommend that you manually set it to ensure the same channel. Here, we set the channel of the central wireless router and the wireless router of other departments to "6 ".

② Wireless Settings-set wireless signals and encryption information in wireless security settings.

In order to save the layout, I cut a small figure,1-4As long as you find this forum, follow the settings here, and take the default settings elsewhere.

Record the SSID, channel, and encryption settings after the configuration of the central wireless router B, which must be applied in the subsequent configuration of the wireless router.

Wireless Security Settings:

The PSK password set in the security settings of the wireless router that creates the WDS network must be the same, but the security mechanisms can be different. When the security mechanism is not set at the same time, the client cannot achieve wireless roaming in this network. To achieve wireless roaming, you must set the same security mechanism.

(Iii), wireless router AIP-LINKTLWR340G +) settings.

① Modify the IP address of the LAN port. The IP address to be modified is different from the IP address of the central wireless router B. The IP addresses of the wireless routers placed in different departments cannot be the same, but must be in the same network segment, for example: set 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3, and 192.168.1.4 in sequence), save, and restart the router to complete the modification.1-5.

② Enable WDS. After the restart, use the changed IP address of the LAN port to log on to wireless router A again. In Wireless Settings-Basic settings, select "enable WDS ".1-6.

Device selection:

All the wireless routers that build the WDS network must support the WDS function. To achieve the best compatibility, select the same brand of wireless products for use.

③ WDS settings. Click scan to search for wireless signals.1-7.

 

4. In the scanned signal list, select B router SSID number, 1-8 TP-LINK_12C77C, click "Connect ".1-8.

⑤ Save the same channel, key type, and key settings as the central wireless router B.1-9.

6. Disable the DHCP server. On the DHCP server, select "do not enable", save, and restart the vro.1-10.

Whether in the center wireless router B or wireless router A, the gateway address is set to the same as the LAN port IP address 192.168.1.1 OF THE CENTER wireless router, both the primary DNS server and the backup DNS server are set as IP addresses of the local network or China Telecom.

7. The configuration of wireless router A is complete. The configuration method of the wireless router in any department is the same as that of the wireless router A. At this time, the wireless router A and the wireless router B have successfully established WDS.

Through the above settings, the Office of the General Manager, the Ministry of Human Resources, the finance department, the marketing department and other key departments of daige group can all have limited and wireless Internet access, meeting the needs of various departments to access the Internet, at the same time, it achieves seamless connection and perfect coverage of the entire region.

In practical application, various obstacles will be encountered. Among them, glass, wood boards and gypsum walls have the least impact on wireless signals, while concrete walls and iron have the greatest impact on wireless signals.

For the configuration scheme of such products, I have summarized the following points for reference. Due to different products, the setting methods are different and the graphic interface is also changed. In any case, pay attention to the following points.

1. Enable the wireless function:

Each wireless router must enable the wireless function. Although it is enabled by default, be careful when making no mistakes.

The SSID set by the wireless router that creates a WDS network can be different. In this case, the client cannot implement wireless roaming in this network. To achieve wireless roaming, you must set the same SSID.

Settings:

2. Channel settings:

The channel selected for the wireless router that creates the WDS network must be the same. Generally, the router channel is "automatically selected". We recommend that you manually set it to ensure the same channel. Here, we set the channel of the central wireless router and the wireless router of other departments to "6 ".

3. SSID settings:

The SSID set by the wireless router that creates a WDS network can be different. In this case, the client cannot implement wireless roaming in this network. To achieve wireless roaming, you must set the same SSID.

4. device selection:

All the wireless routers that build the WDS network must support the WDS function. To achieve the best compatibility, select the same brand of wireless products for use.

5. Wireless Security Settings:

The PSK password set in the security settings of the wireless router that creates the WDS network must be the same, but the security mechanisms can be different. When the security mechanism is not set at the same time, the client cannot achieve wireless roaming on this network. To achieve wireless roaming, you must set the same security mechanism.
