Region : Italy

Model : TL-WDR3600

Hardware Version : V1

Firmware Version : 3.13.17 Build 120508 Rel.45884n

ISP :


Hello,

I've got two WDR3600

the first one is the main router:
- connected to ISP modem
- DHCP on
- 2.4Ghz radio to serve WiFi clients security WPA-PSK
- 5GHz radio to link to the second WDR3600
protocol 802.11n only

the second WDR3600 is WDS of the main router:
- DHCP off
- 2.4GHz radio to serve WiFi clients security WPA-PSK
- 5GHz radio to link to the first WDR3600
protocol 802.11n only

All is working fine, however WDS connection works only with security off.
WPA-PSK is not selectable, cannot test WPA2, no radius server available, WEP not supported due to incompatibilty with 802.11n protocol.
Is this the expected behaviour?
Did somebody got WDS working with WPA-PSK encryption?
Could this be due to the firmware or s it a limitation of Atheros chipset?
Thx // Marco

WDS should supports all sorts of security type including WPA-PSK and WEP. If you want to link the two routers together by running WDS, I suggest you only enable WDS on the second the router and leave the main one as it is without running WDS.
