Several problems with WDR-3600
Model :
Hardware Version : Not Clear
Firmware Version :
ISP :
I just bought this wdr-3600 v1.5 router to replace an old wr-941nd v5 router that used to be the "primary" on a WDS bridge setup with another 941nd.
This are my problems:
*The WDS connection in very unstable. I can ping the wdr-3600 from the secondary router but just for a brief period of time. Same goes for the internet connection which works for a few minutes and then dies. I tried every different channel/width but no luck, whereas the 941nd performed flawlessly (I have to use 2.4GHz since the secondary WDS router is not dual-band capable).
*Reading the forums I found turning the hardware NAT off could help, but it didn't.
*The bandwidth management is terrible. Clients that worked with no problems at 2Mbps speed now work at half the speed or lower on wired connections (even though I used the exact same settings from the previous 941nd router) Once again, enabling / disabling the hardware NAT doesn't help at all.
*Already tried changing the WDS setup (primary as secondary and viceversa) but the results were no different.
*Already flashed the latest firmware for the wdr-3600 (v1_150518) and performed a hard rest inmediately after. Started the setup from scratch, but the problems persist.
Is there something I am doing wrong? As I said earlier I'm using the exact same settings I used on the previous router. Any help will be appreciated.
