How to connect WCR-GN to WZR-HP-300NH using WDS
« on: April 04, 2012, 09:54:00 AM »

I have an WZR-HP-300NH connect to Internet.  I would like to extend the wireless coverage by WDS using a WCR-GN.  What is the exact steps i should do on both routers?

Thanks a lot. A comprehensive instruction.

 

Is it mandatory to turn on wireless encryption?

It is not, but it is recommended.

My WZR-G300-NH router (connected to internet) LAN side IP is not 192.168.11.1 but 192.168.x.1 instead.  I found that the IP of WCR-GN under bridge mode is always 192.168.11.100....

 

it seems that they are not able to talk each other.....

 

I don't want to change my WZR-G300-NH setting as i have put lot of port forwarding into it...
