Wds td-w8968 & tl-wr841n
Region : Australia
Model : TL-WR941ND
Hardware Version : WR841N v8
Firmware Version : 3.13.27 Build 121101 Rel.38183n
[HR][/HR]
Model : TD-W8968
Hardware Version: TD-W8968 v1
Firmware Version : 0.6.0 1.1 v0005.0 Build 120926 Rel.27100n
Need some help please!
I have two routers, a TP-Link TD-W8968 (main & connected to ADSL) and a TL-WR841N (client) and I'm trying to get WDS working over them in order to use my PS3/media player etc at the tv.
I have followed the following link http://www.tp-link.com/en/article/?faqid=74
and have the following settings
W8968 (main router)
IP 192.168.1.1
DHCP on
WR841N
IP 192.168.1.200 (out of main router's DHCP range)
DHCP off (default gateway as 192.168.1.1)
In the wireless settings, I have enabled WDS and both routers and did the scan/survey to find the other router to add.
On the W8968 Status page, WDS shows as Enabled
On the WR841N Status page, WDS shows as Run (Associated successfully according to the router's info on the side)
I am able to access each routers page as well as ping from a desktop behind the main router (W8968) but when I am connected to the client router (WR841N), I am unable to get a network IP address. So WDS is working, but DHCP is not being implemented behind the client router?
DHCP is turned off on the client as in the instructions but the main router is not assigning.
I have tried manually assigning an IP behind the client router both inside/out the DHCP range (192.168.1.100-192.168.1.199) with no luck.
Cannot access the internet
My questions are
1) are these 2 pieces of hardware compatible for WDS???
Status of both hardware seems to indicate yes
2) if compatible, what am I missing so devices behind the client router can access the internet connection.
Many many thanks in advance!
