Can not use Archer C6 with other router via WDS
Can not use Archer C6 with other router via WDS
2020-08-17 13:18:01
Model: Archer C6  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 1.3.0 Build 20200402 rel.52000(4555)

I am using Archer C6 as my primary router and (TL-WR841ND) as my secondary router and i have connected my secondary to Archer C6 wirelessly via WDS.


When I connect my device to archer I get proper internet usage.


when I connect to TL-WR841ND I face issue in usage when I do speed test first I get 12Mbps and on the fraction of second it stops there and then it suddenly drops to 0.5 Mbps(Actual Speed allocated to Archer C6 is 40+Mbps)

I can't even use google or basic apps in my device that is connected to TL-WR841ND

Can any one please help me out there? I need help I cannot extend LAN cable at that location and only option for me is to use WDS.

Note: there is no issue in TL-WR841ND as when I use it with other routers it works perfect for me

You can try modifying the wireless channels the wireless bands use on the C6, then set up the WDS on the 841.

You had mentioned the 841 works fine with other routers, but I would bring the 841 into the same room of the C6 and test that way. Make sure the 841 has its own unique SSID when testing.

 

If you look below your router, what is the country code? Ex. (US) (UK) (EU) etc.
