Go to Save/Reload: under the Status heading and click Save & Apply.

The unit will now be configured as we require but you will no longer be able to access it as the IP

address has been changed to a different subnet (the subnet of the router).

Disconnect it from your computer however leave it powered up, as we will want to see if we can

establish a link after we've set up the second unit.

Now we will configure Unit B - connect it to the computer in the same manner as the last.

Repeat step

In this guide.

Repeat step

But type in the MAC Address of Unit A (use exactly the same passphrase as before)

Repeat step

But give the unit an IP Address of

Repeat step

You should now see the unit configured as desired.

After the unit has rebooted we may have to change the IP Address of the computer to access it -

If so we only need to change the

192.168.1.20 to 192.168.2.20

Use the web browser to log into the address

under the Status heading.

Here we should be able to see the WDS Link Status and if the wireless bridge is up and running.

So now both the units are configured, each with a static IP address that resides on the same

network as the router, finally we change our computer's Ethernet settings back to Obtain an IP

address automatically / via DHCP.

There are many ways you can use WDS, however if you wanted a unit to broadcast a publically

visible WiFi Network we could set it (or multiples) up as a WDS AP for additional WiFi coverage.

192.168.2.101

subnet

so alter the computer's Ethernet IPv4 Settings from

192.168.2.101

(So it doesn't clash with the other)

as before and go to WDS Link List
