Hello

I am trying to establish wireless bridge connection between TPLink W8968 V3 as secondary router and Belkin N150 as main router,
I have referred to link to configure it http://www.tp-link.com/en/article/?faqid=447
http://www.tp-link.com/en/article/?faqid=447
but no success, Scanning shows my belkin router AP, but when I save it in summary it does not show anything but when I refresh it shows it as selected

For complete configuration that I have of Modem, Belkin as Main router and TPLink as Secondary router refer to the link

Some important screenshots given below, I also have MAC filtering enabled but both routers are added to each other to access
I also tried without MAC filtering

Well, it must be bad news...
Limited by its chipset, W8968 cannot WDS your Belkin router successfully.
If there are two W8968, you can follow this instruction to set them up. http://www.tp-link.com/en/article/?faqid=264

Thanks for the reply, But this brings to another question is it that both the wireless routers should support WDS, why do I need to configure in both the routers, I mean Bridging if I undestand I just should configure secondary router to bridge with my primary router, why do we need to configure even primary router again to bridge with secondary router, This link does not mention that http://www.tp-link.com/en/article/?faqid=447
