Hi, as terziyski replied, the AX20 doesn't have WDS feature, that only means it cannot connect to another wireless router via the wireless, but you can still try to connect to the AX20's wireless network by enabling the WDS feature on the other router, then connect that router to the AX20 network to extend the network.

 

Be sure that there is no Access Control settings on the AX20, otherwise, you may fail to connect the other router to the network.

AX20 doesn't have WDS implemented. I believe this feature was phased out in favor of OneMesh.

Are you trying to connect another WDS capable router to AX20 ?

If that's the case take a look at this thread - it's about AX10 but this should be related to AX20 too.

Here's an example of successful WDS setup with AX20 and WD1043ND.

Here's an example of successful WDS setup with AX20 and WR-845N as well as C24.

You can try disabling OneMesh and Smart Connect features and test again.

@terziyski But many people have old routers and can them  use for interfacing iot devices where is slow speed but they must be connectable. What on this say ecology?
