thanks for the reply, however there is no list I can find at that link, it has the directions how to setup WDS

but that is all, I have poured over that link trying to find why I can't bridge the c7 to a c5, I have another post

asking for help on why the c7 is not getting internet from the bridged c5,

"c7 wds bridged to c5 and no internet on c7"

if and when I get the c7 wds bridged to the c5, I will try to bridge it to another router and see what happens. I've been 

trying without success to get internet from the c5 to the c7 as a test bed before attempting a different brand router

 

thanks for the on going reply, I did get the WDS bridging working, my bad I had not disabled the dhcp server on the c7, I will check the list again
