Hello

I bought two WR1043ND v2 routers and wanted to Bridge them using WDS acording to guide http://www.tp-link.com.pl/article/?faqid=440
WDS Connection is working fine (status Run), but after few minutes root router hangs (wifi network is still visible but I cannot connect to the network, aftre connecting with cable DHCP server is not working, and after seting IP manually web interface is not responding). I am not sure but I think that sometimes extended router also hangs.

At first I thought it was device problem, but after switching root router & extended router exact same thing is happening, so I believe this may be hardware or frimware problem.
I tried different configurations (changed channels, disabled speed boat, diabling nat, disabling firewall...), but notking seems to work.

BTW
I am now testing WDS WR1043ND v2 as extended router Netgear N300 (DDWRT) as root router, and devices are working fine for now.

I am attaching extended router config
