Three routers bridge adds wireless coverage

For the general small companies or the area slightly larger, there are several floors of the home, a wireless router to the farthest distance of the time may have a severe attenuation, resulting in speed change card.

Or because a Low-cost wireless router has only 4 LAN interface, only through the network cable to connect 4 computers, and the acquisition of a 8 or even 16-port router is very expensive (ordinary 4LAN device minimum of dozens of dollars), this time need to bridge the router.

Bridging (bridging) simply means that multiple routers make up a wireless local area network, computers, smartphones and ipads as long as you choose the nearest and best router.

The concrete operation method of bridge, take my own company 3 Tp-link Router For example, named Abc,a as the main router (WAN port to connect broadband) respectively.

First, log in A, B, C (the default password is admin/admin) records the MAC address (LAN port state) of 3 routers, at the same time, modify ABC's SSID number (SSID can not be the same), suggest channel all change to 7, "Turn on wireless function" and "Turn on SSID broadcast" function tick, "open wds" do not tick.

Second, in "Wireless Settings"-"Wireless security Settings", select the WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK mode, encryption algorithm to select AES, and then set a password. (Do not worry about others rub the net can not set the password, skip this step.) )

Third, to set the IP address manually for 3 routers, the recommended setting is 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3, and the subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0.

Four, log on to 3 devices separately, and turn off the DHCP service.

(DHCP is simply to give access to the LAN network equipment automatically assigned IP address, the use of bridging the way, we fill out the IP address on the OK)

Five, in the setting, choose "Open Bridge function", 3 routers have to do so, and then in the following interface, respectively, fill in the other two devices MAC address. A's filled in bc,b filling ac,c ab.

Six, after completing the above operation, the last 3 routers are restarted. No surprise, the bridge is complete.

In addition, whether the network cable or wireless access to this bridge LAN equipment, it is recommended to manually set their own IP address of 192.168.1.X (X as large as possible, not single digits), subnet mask is 3 255, The IP of the gateway can select the nearest router to your device or the IP address of the device to which you want to plug the network cable.

The actual use of a number of smart phones or tablets found, because the DHCP service shut down, resulting in the inability to allocate IP addresses to the network, you need to manually set their own device IP address.

Bridging is not difficult, it is difficult to encounter inexplicable failure to lead to failure, as long as a few more attempts, will be able to succeed.
