Note: Before configuring WDS, please ensure the following first:
1. Make sure different IP addresses are assigned to each WDS supported wireless device
used for bridging. (ex. 192.168.10.1,192.168.10.2, 192.168.10.3) to avoid IP address
conflict. See page 28 for changing the LAN IP address.
2. If you are using more than one WDS supported router, please make sure the LAN
DHCP server is enabled on only one and disabled on all others to avoid IP address
conflict. See page 29 for DHCP server options.
3. Configure the same wireless channel and use the same on all WDS supported wireless
devices. See page 10 for configuring basic wireless settings.
4. Configure the same wireless security and key on all WDS supported devices. See
16 for configuring wireless security settings.
To configure WDS bridging between TEW-813DRU routers:
1. Log into your router management page (see
on page 9).
2. Click on Advanced and click on Wireless (2.4GHz or 5GHz), then click on WDS.
3. Next to Wireless Distribution System (WDS), in an empty field, enter the MAC
address of the other WDS supported wireless device you are bridging. (e.g.
00:11:22:AA:BB:CC)
4. Click on the WDS drop-down list and select Enable.
5. To save changes, click Apply.
Note: If you would like to discard the changes, click Cancel before you click Save.

For additional routers, make sure to disable the DHCP server first on all additional
routers and configure the LAN IP address to be different on each router. You will
connect devices to the LAN ports 1-4 only on all additional routers and the WAN port is
not used. Then, repeat the steps for additional routers you are bridging.
In the diagram below, the blue color represents the WDS wireless bridged connections
between the routers. The green color represents access point mode connections
between wireless client devices and the routers.
