Hi there,

I tried to setup the WDS between TP-LINK WA850RE and TP-LINK W8980 router for IPTV. WDS is the only way to get the seamless wifi roaming. I need WDS for my IPTV.

Here is what I did to enable WDS on both ends:

On TP-LINK WA850RE end, by site survey, I found the SSID configured on W8980, and choose connect, set up the security to WPA2-PSK AES, which is identical with the setting on W8980.

And back to W8980, using site survey again to find the WA850RE, add the BSSID, security etc.

After all, I can see the WDS mode is up and running between the router and wifi extender. However, the WIFI speed is just around 1Mbps when my laptop connects to the wifi extender, and the WIFI connection is not stable either.

Any idea about how to get WDS running properly between these two devices?

Thanks & regards
