TL-WR841ND v7 and TL-WR840N v6 Repeater mode issue
TL-WR841ND v7 and TL-WR840N v6 Repeater mode issue
HI,
I have an issue with my tplink wireless router when i set it as repeater
I put the wifi router in the same place and try to connect to a wireless network with setrength of 55-60 about 20 25m away
the wr840n v6 connects well and gives me working connection
the wr841nd v 7 doesn't give me a working connection, although the router sees the same wifi network with same strength
latest update for 841nd version is 2012 and 840n v6 latest update is 2022
is it related to firmware or what is the problem ? I want also to mention that the old 841nd router works well as a repeater with the very near wifi networks
it gives me as you see unidentified network, even when i fill in manually the ip adress and the dns settings it doesn't recongnize network

Ok, so when using WDS on the TL-WR841ND v7, then you get no connection to the Huawei Echolife, no matter if it's nearby of far away. Is that correct?
Well, if you are not afraid of potentially bricking your TL-WR841ND v7, then you could try your luck with DD-WRT. In DD-WRT a regular range extender mode is available. (it's called "Station Bridge" in newer versions of DD-WRT)
But keep in mind that DD-WRT offers no assisting features like "Quick Setup" or "SmartDHCP". In DD-WRT all settings have to be configured manually.
And there might not be a way to revert back to the TP-Link software later on.

DD-WRT is available for the TL-WR841ND v7. Make sure you download the correct version. (tl-wr841ndv7)
I usually install a version that is about two or three weeks old, thinking that if a version turned out to have a major flaw it would have been pulled from the server by then.
Note that nobody can guarantee whether DD-WRT would fix the connection problem or not.
