Problems setting up WDS between v9 and v7 WR841ND routers
Region : Canada
Model : TL-WR841ND
Hardware Version : V9
Firmware Version :

Hi!
I just purchased a WR-841ND (v9) router to use it as a a wireless bridge from my main WR-841ND (v7).
The settings for each router are as follows:
Router 1 (v7): IP 192.168.45.1, SSID is set, WPA2 password is set, DHCP is enabled, WPS (or QSS on v7) is disabled.
Router 2 (v9): IP 192.168.45.2, SSID and WPA2 are set. DHCP is disabled. WDS enabled and set with correct SSID and WPA2 password of Router 1. WPS is disabled, too.
I managed to get both routers connected as the WDS Status of Router 2 says "RUN" and a Laptop I connected to the second router even got the correct IP (I use MAC/IP binding). Unfortunately, I cannot connect to the Internet from that laptop. Performing a ping to 192.168.45.1 gives a timeout response and I'm going nuts trying to figure out what could've gone wrong. Do you have any idea?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
