WDS between TL-WDR4300 and TD-W8970
Region : Argentina
Model : TL-WDR4300
Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version :
ISP :
Region : Australia
Model : TL-WDR4300
Hardware Version : V1
Firmware Version : TL-WDR4300_V1_121225
ISP : Internode
Hi Guys,
I just bought the TL-WDR4300 and the TD-W8970 (i wanted to TD-W8980 but it's not out yet in Australia)
I'm using the TD-W8970 as the connection to the internet.
I'm trying to connect the WDR4300 via WDS to extend the wireless range.
I've followed the following FAQ: http://www.tp-linkru.com/article/?faqid=440
Unfortunately I have not been able to get it working.
I've checked other tutorials online but still no success.
On the WDR4300 status page, the WDS Status displays "Run", however there's no internet connection, both with DHCP on and off.
The WDR4300 is updated with the latest firmware and so is the W8970.
Is this setup possible?
I was hoping the double combination of TP-LINK products will make it easier and compatible to connect.
Any help will be appreciated and thanks in advance.

Hi Jimasek,
I'm finally home now and can provide you with the settings.
Below are screenshots of settings in both routers.
From the image, both wireless settings match and the WDS status is run.
The WDR4300 lan setting is 192.168.1.2 while the TD-W8970 is 192.168.1.1.
With DHCP off on the WDR4300, I cannot ping 192.168.1.1 as I don't get an IP on the same network.
Any help to get this working is much appreciated.
Thanks.
