Hi all,
I'm newbie and know nothing about network/router.
I'm bit confuse how to get my routers working together.
I have W8951ND ADSL modem/wifi router and I also have WR2543ND wifi router.
I'd like to connect my HP Usb printer and also sometimes USB HDD into network so when I read that USB printer can be connected to WR2543ND I bought it.
And now I'm confuse how to get this things working together. I'd like to have WR2543 as extended router as well.
Please help me, step by step how to connect them all. Thx in advance
Computers and devices available to connect in to network :
Windows Vista PC
Macmini
MacPro
Desktop Win XP PC
ipad and iphone.

Hi Speed,
Issue #1
Thanks again, in my post before I attached my WR2543ND status page, is that page we discuss about? or is something missing?
Do you mean I should connect to WR2543ND instead my Internet modem router? I did mention in my post before, If I connect directly to WR2543ND after setup WDS, its warn me "No internet connection"
Issue#2
I did mention that I already install the client software (TP Link USB Print controller) and It did not shows any print.
I really appreciate your help, I already tried to supply all information might be needed. I hope it's not languange barrier since english is not my native.

No, that's not a language problem, only a simple difficulty for me to understand what you are doing...
I don't see the WDS status !
No, but your PC printing is connected to WR2543ND or W8951ND?
That's not a WDS issue, if it is running well.
Did you test a print with a cable between the 2 routers?

It's "RUN"
No, but your PC printing is connected to WR2543ND or W8951ND?
Let me clarify, what is PC Printing? The USB printer directly attached to WR2543ND using USB cable, right?
All my computers wirelessly connect to W8951ND, but I did try to connect to WR2543ND Wirelessly..
And this is what happen when I tried to connect my laptop to WR2543ND
That's not a WDS issue, if it is running well.

Do you mean, two 2 routers connected by cable LAN?

Finally I can make it works!
So, I upgrade the firmware and setup WDS USING LAN not WI-FI
ALL SSD broadcast set to same name with the modem router, in my case : Blessing Studio 1
1st attempt, I still can't connect my printer.
Then I tried to change subnet to 255.255.0.0 which is different from my modem router : 255.255.255.0, of course it's not right.
but, MAYBE, it's like clearing cache...so when I set it back to 255.255.255.0 and reboot...whoila...my printer is appear on the list!!
I don't know if it's the correct way but I think firmware upgrade worth to try.
So, thank you for your kind and time Hi Speed...

Now other problem arise...
My macbook sometimes won't connect to internet.
When I check the Network Preferences, the subnet change itself to 255.255.0.0. My mac connect using DHCP, btw.
So I need to enter the IP Address manually and then disconnect and reconnect, change them to DHCP again.
I also got reply from TP Link support here, they said the problem between WR2543ND and W8951ND is the MAC address.
here's the email :

here's the email :
To configure WDS function and connect two device using it require both device to have identical MAC Frame Addressing format while both your ADSL modem TD-W8951ND and your wireless router TL-WR2543ND are using different version so both are incompatible to be connected using WDS function.
