compusa/edimax WDS mode

Hi everyone,

Has anyone succeded in having these routers work in WDS mode?
I failed and could not find any manual/tutorial even on edimax's
website.

Say AP1 is 192.168.0.10 and AP2 is 192.168.2.1, how should I configure
each of them?
I would like AP1 and AP2 to sreve wired and wireless devices while
having the WDS on.

Thanks,

Yosi

This is definitely doable. In the wireless configuration section on both
units, set the mode to APBridge - WDS. The MAC Address 1 on one unit needs
to point to the Wireless MAC address on the other unit and vis versa. You
can find out the MAC address on each unit by looking on the Device Status
page.

One of your problems is that you have the two IP addresses on different
subnets. In WDS mode, these units operate as bridges, so each unit should
have a unique IP address on the same subnet. (i.e. 192.168.0.10 and
192.168.0.11). Make sure that the DHCP server is only turned on on the
router connected to the internet. On the other unit DHCP needs to be
disabled.

Make sure everything works without enabling WEP first. Then you can enable
WEP. Note: I vaguely recall reading somewhere that WDS doesn't work with
WPA.

Hope this helps,

P.S. These are great routers. The firmware is absolutely rock solid!
