Model: Archer C3150  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

Q1. How do I configure wds bridging on TP-Dual Band Routers?

 

I have the following situation

Router 1: TP-Link AC3150

Modem Router 2: TP-Link Archer D7

NBN Modem: ZTE H268A

 

At present the ipaddress on router 1 & 2 are the same (by default 192.168.1.1). The problem is that when I try to set a new ipaddress on TP-Archer D7 from the article, after it reboots it fails. I connect cable on the WAN port on the Archer Router to the ZTEH268A on 1 cable and then 1 cable from the LAN port on the Archer Router to the PC. I login the modem router screen and followed the instructions below.

Q1. I think there must be something wrong with I have done.  Please assist me.

 

Q2. Provided the ipaddress reset is successful, can i use the article below to do the wds bridging? Assume the tplink router ip address is 192.168.1.1 and then i set a tparcher d7 router ipadress is 192.168.1.111 (within the ip address router range of the tplink ac3150)

First, the IP address of Archer C3150 is 192.168.0.1 by default, while it is 192.168.1.1 for Archer D7; anyway, just ensure that they are not using the same IP address.

 

When you change the LAN IP of the Archer D7, do not connect it to the C3150, connect your computer to it only instead. Besides, how do you connect the NBN box to the router? By ethernet cable or phone line? It is the ethernet cable, it is recommended to use C3150 as the main router. 

 

Second, you can configure the Archer D7 as the repeater to extend the wifi range via the WDS feature, click here to set it up.
