WR1043 WDS bridge upgrade to WDR3600 fails

Region : Argentina

Model : TL-WDR4300

Hardware Version : V1

Firmware Version :

ISP :


I currently use a WR1043 connected via WDS to a Draytek gateway router to bridge two physical LAN networks at home and this is working without issue.

In order to up the bandwidth on the bridge I recently purchased a WDR3600 router to replace the WR1043 but although I follow exactly the same procedure and use exactly the same settings to establish the WDS connection on the new router, I can't get it to work.

Screenshot of the existing WiFi config attached.

DHCP disabled on TP-Link client, no MAC address filtering on Draytek host, both routers on same subnet with unique IP addresses.

Can anyone help me understand what might be going wrong here please?
