The following are the reasons for using 2 Tp-link wireless routers:
1, because the previous 150Mbps no other brand line router signal is not flattering, reluctantly received the signal of the parent router;
2, before the successful trial case is bidirectional cascade, but found that Tp-link (parent route) can not find the signal sub-route, the parent route is 300Mbps, and the sub-route is 150MPBS and a single antenna, sub-routed signal can not be transmitted to the parent route.
For these reasons, wireless cascading schemes using different brands have been discarded.
Later, using 2 tp-link routers,
Parent route: wr841n Ver8.0
Zi Lu by: wr845n Ver1.0
But found a bug in cascading, is a very serious bug, so I mistakenly think my configuration problem ...
This bug exists on 2 routers, namely: after the WDS function is turned on, the wireless signal is very unstable, frequent freezing, but the wireless signal is dead, resulting in the inability to use the wireless network (but the cable is not affected) and can only restart the router to solve ...
Because the wireless signal died, let me mistakenly think is misconfiguration, later on the internet search only discovered, originally is Tp-link general bug ...
Now is to do is the sub-route enabled WDS function, the frequent wireless signal crashes, but has upgraded the router software, currently just used for 10 minutes, has not seen the freezing situation, look forward to solve ...
Let's talk about a one-way cascade configuration.
Parent Route configuration:
Others do not need to change, pay attention to the following content can
SSID: Random name, unlimited
Channel: Set to a fixed value that displays the channel of the parent route when searching for a wireless signal using a sub-route, and that the child routes need to be consistent
Mode: Set to fixed value, and child routes need to be consistent
Wireless key type needs to be consistent with sub-routing
WDS off
Zi lu by configuration:
SSID: Random name, unlimited
Channel: Set to fixed value, consistent with parent routing channel
Mode: Set to a fixed value that needs to be consistent with the parent route
WDS on: Search for wireless signals and select parent routed connection, enter the key type and the parent route's wireless password
The DHCP service shuts down, otherwise it will conflict with the parent route, and once the Cascade succeeds, the DHCP function of the parent route will be used
LAN port IP, which is set to the IP address of the same network segment as the parent route, but cannot be the same as the parent route, or cause a conflict
WAN ports do not need to be configured
Attention:
1, the above configuration needs to use the computer network cable Connection LAN port to configure
2, if also open WDS, wireless signal often die of the problem, please upgrade the version of the router, at least now used for about half an hour, has not crashed, has greatly improved than before, hope will never crash.
After Setup is complete, restart the 2 routers, or you will be prompted to restart during setup.
It should be ready when the reboot is complete.
There are other good ways to welcome the supplement, and you are welcome to correct the mistake.
