Wds Bridge Mode - Tenda F3 User Manual

WDS Bridge Mode

Example
If you already position a router in your house, but its WiFi signal may not be strong enough to cover
both your home office and bedroom. To extend your Router's WiFi coverage, you can prepare one
more router and enable WDS Bridge Mode of the router.
Do the following preparation before configuring WDS Bridge Mode. For easy recognition, we call
the existing router "remote router" and call the Router you need to prepare "newly-added router".
1. Verify the remote router is connected to the Internet and provides proper Internet service.
2. Keep the WAN port of the newly-added router unplugged.
3. Go to the User Interface of the remote router and collect the following info: WiFi Name (SSID),
security mode, encryption rule, the security key and LAN IP. And take a note.
Tips
1. The router or AP you select must be WDS-capable. This Router supports WDS.
2. When WDS settings are finished, SSIDs of both the remote device and newly-added device will
be the same.
3. Do not change the SSID, channel, and security key in case the bridge disconnected.
