How to Set WDS for TP-link wireless routers
With the development of wireless networks, more and more companies and enterprises have begun to deploy wireless LAN. Today we will mainly introduce the wireless router bridging or WDS functions suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. This article takes the TP-link WR841N wireless router configuration as an example. For other routers, refer to the setting methods.

With the development of wireless networks, more and more companies and enterprises have begun to deploy wireless LAN. Today we will mainly introduce the wireless router bridging or WDS functions suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. This article takes TP-link WR841N wireless router configuration as an example. For other routers, refer to the setting methods.
The following steps are troublesome:

The figure shows A small enterprise wireless network. If only one wireless router is used in Department A, Department B, and Department C, some computers may find weak signals or cannot find signals, as a result, the wireless network cannot be connected. Solution: Department A, Department B, and Department C connect to A wireless router. The three wireless routers can achieve perfect coverage and eliminate blind spots in the entire region through WDS connection.

Configuration philosophy: as A central wireless router, wireless router A and router C establish a wds connection with wireless router B. <喎?http: www.bkjia.com kf ware vc " target="_blank" class="keylink"> VcD4NCjxwPqGhoaE8c3Ryb25nPjxzcGFuIHN0eWxlPQ = "COLOR: # 0000ff"> the procedure is as follows:

 

　　1. Central wireless router B settings

Log on to the wireless router settings B management interface, and set"SSID number","Channel",

In theWireless Settings"--"Wireless Security SettingsSet wireless signal encryption information

Record the SSID, channel, and encryption settings After configuring wireless router B, which must be applied in subsequent configurations of wireless router A and router C.

　　Ii. Configure wireless router.

1. Modify the IP address of the LAN port. In Network Parameter-LAN port settings, modify the IP address to be different from that of router B (to prevent IP address conflicts), such as 192.168.1.2, save, and the router restarts automatically.

2. Enable WDS. After the restart, log on to wireless router A with the changed IP address of the LAN port, and select"Enable WDS".Note that the SSID here is different from that of router B. Of course, you can also set the SSID to the same, so that you can roam within the coverage of the three routers, that is to say, as long as you connect to the Internet at will within this range, you can also access the Internet at another point within this range without reconnecting, it is easy to re-enter the SSID, that is, the three routers form the same big network.

3. WDS settings. Click"Scan", Search for wireless signals.

In the scanned signal list, select the router B ssid number, such as the TP-LINK_841_ B, click"Connection".

Set the channel to be the same as that of router B.

Set the encryption information to be the same as that of router B.Save".

　　4. Disable the DHCP server. On the DHCP server, select"Disable","Save", Restart the router.

The configuration of wireless router A is complete. At this time, wireless router A and wireless router B have successfully established WDS.

3. Configure wireless router C. The configuration method is the same as that of router (The IP address must be different from router A, router B, and other computers in the network. Otherwise, the IP address may conflict and the computer cannot access the Internet.).
