Hi to all,

I have two routers - main (wr940n) and wr841n. The first one, lets call it main I have few reserved IPs in DHCP section. I want the second router to be Range Extender.

I set it as extender, and showed the 940n wifi to extend. Set the DHCP as disabled, also set Static Lan IP.

Then I connect on of the devices I reserved IP for to the extender. But when I check the connected devices on my wifi network, the connected device is with different IP.

If I connect the device to the main router, its IP is correct.

I read lot of tutorials in Internet, and all mention that the extender get the reserved IPs form the main router. Also disabling DHCP is to avoid conflicts with the main router. Is this true or there are other settings I missed?

Also I want to ask why on wr841n (cyan UI) Enable WDS Bridging option is missing? Bridging can be alternative to Range Extender. I own wr740n and it has this option, but wr841n doesn't...

Thanks and best regards!
