Q4. How do I use the WDS Bridging function to extend my wireless
network?
For example, my house covers a large area. The wireless coverage of the router I’m
using (the root router) is limited. I want to use an extended router to extend the wireless
network of the root router.
Note: WDS bridging only requires configuration on the extended router.
1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in to with the username and password you set for
the router.
2. Configure the IP address of the router:
1 ) Go to Network > LAN, configure the IP address of the extended router to be
in the same subnet with the root router; (For example, the IP address of the
root router is 192.168.0.1, the IP address of the extended router can be
192.168.0.2~192.168.0.254. We take 192.168.0.2 as example.)
68
2 ) Click Save.
Note: Log in to the web management page again if the IP address of the router is altered.
3. Survey the SSID to be bridged:
1 ) Go to Wireless > Wireless Settings and click Enable WDS Bridging.
2 ) Click Survey, locate the root router’s SSID and click Choose (Here we take
TP-Link_2512 as example).
3 ) If the root router is set with a wireless password, you should enter the wireless
password of the root router.
4 ) Click Save.
4. Disable DHCP:
1 ) Go to DHCP, select Disable, and click Save.
Now you can go to Status to check the WDS status. When the WDS status is Run, it
means WDS bridging is successfully built.
69
Q5. What should I do if I cannot access the internet even though the
configuration is finished?
1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in to with the username and password you set for
the router.
2. Go to Status to check WAN status:
If IP Address is a valid one, please try the methods below and try again:
• Your computer might not recognize any DNS server addresses, please manually
configure DNS server.
1 ) Go to DHCP.
2 ) Enter 8.8.8.8 as Primary DNS, and click Save.
Tips: 8.8.8.8 is a safe and public DNS server operated by Google.
• Restart the modem and the router.
1 ) Power off your modem and the router, and leave them off for 1 minute.
2 ) Power on your modem first, and wait about 2 minutes.
3 ) Power on the router, and wait another 1 or 2 minutes and check the internet
access.
• Reset the router to factory default settings and reconfigure the router.
• Upgrade the firmware of the router.
• Check the TCP/IP settings on the particular device if all other devices can get internet
from the router.
If the IP Address is 0.0.0.0, please try the methods below and try again:
• Make sure the physical connection between the router and the modem is proper.
• Clone the MAC address of your computer.
70
1 ) Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the username and password you set for
the router.
2 ) Go to Network > MAC Clone, select Clone MAC Address and click Save.
•
•
Tips:
Some ISP will register the MAC address of your computer when you access the internet for the first time
through their Cable modem, if you add a router into your network to share your internet connection, the ISP will
not accept it as the MAC address is changed, so we need to clone your computer’s MAC address to the router.
The MAC addresses of a computer in wired connection and wireless connection are different.
• Modify the LAN IP address of the router.
Note:
Most TP-Link routers use 192.168.0.1/192.168.1.1 as their default LAN IP address, it may conflict with the IP range
of your existent ADSL modem/router. If so, the router is not able to communicate with your modem and cause you
can’t access the internet. To resolve this problem, we need to change the LAN IP address of the router to avoid
such conflict, for example, 192.168.2.1.
1 ) Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the username and password you set for
the router.
2 ) Go to Network > LAN.
3 ) Modify the LAN IP address as the follow picture shows. Here we take 192.168.2.1
as an example.
4 ) Click Save.
• Restart the modem and the router.
1 ) Power off your modem and the router, and leave them off for 1 minute.
2 ) Power on your modem first, and wait about 2 minutes.
3 ) Power on the router, and wait another 1 or 2 minutes and check the internet
access.
71
• Double check the internet Connection Type.
1 ) Confirm your internet Connection Type, which can be learned from the ISP.
2 ) Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the username and password you set for
the router.
3 ) Go to Network > WAN.
4 ) Select your WAN Connection Type and fill in other parameters.
5 ) Click Save.
6 ) Restart the modem and the router.
• Please upgrade the firmware of the router.
If you’ve tried every method above but cannot access the internet, please contact the
technical support.
Q6. What should I do if I cannot find my wireless network or I cannot
connect the wireless network?
If you fail to find any wireless network, please follow the steps below:
• Make sure the wireless function of your device is enabled if you’re using a laptop
with a built-in wireless adapter. You can refer to the relevant document or contact the
laptop manufacturer.
• Make sure the wireless adapter driver is installed successfully and the wireless
adapter is enabled.
72
•
On Windows 7
1 ) If you see the message No connections are available, it is usually because the
wireless function is disabled or blocked somehow.
2 ) Clicking Troubleshoot and windows might be able to fix the problem by itself.
•
On Windows XP
1 ) If you see the message Windows cannot configure this wireless connection,
this is usually because windows configuration utility is disabled or you are
running another wireless configuration tool to connect the wireless.
2 ) Exit the wireless configuration tool (the TP-Link Utility, for example).
3 ) Select and right click My Computer on Desktop, and select Manage to open
Computer Management window.
