Hi, 

The WDS setup on TD-W8961N required WDS support on both the main router and the extender.

If the main router d-link DSL-124 does not support WDS, I don't think 8961 could work with d-link DSL-124.

It is suggested to get a standard range extender here to extend the wireless coverage of d-link DSL-124.

Best regards.
