How To Configure TL-WR941ND As an Extended WiFi Device
2015-07-20 18:00:20
Region : Indonesia

Model : TL-WR941ND

Hardware Version : V3

Firmware Version : 3.13.9 Build 120201 Rel.54965n

ISP :


I'm trying to use TL-WR941ND as an extended wifi device along with ZTE MF90 4G Modem with following scheme:





ZTE MF90 IP Address: 192.168.1.1
WR941ND IP Address: 192.168.1.250
Laptop IP Address: 192.168.1.10

I have tried to configure them for bridging, but it still won't work
Here is few screenshot of the configuration and result status:

STATUS

















PING Result

Ping test to ZTE MF90




Ping Test to Laptop




Ping Test to Domain




Ping Test to Internet IP




Is there any wrong configuration that I had? or actually WR941ND can not perform this scheme?

Kindly help

Thank you

No problem with your configuration. It should be a compatibility issue. Your WR941ND supports four address frame WDS while ZTE MF90 may support three address frame WDS... You may confirm with ZTE...
You have to buy a router which supports three address frame WDS or buy an AP and configure it in universal repeater mode.

Sounds a bad luck for me that both of them can't be configured together,
but anyway thanks for your response Vivian,

Maybe routing / bridging issue on 941

Ive got the wr841n with same issue.

In advanced routing - static routing list - add new - destination network 8.0.0.0, subnet 255.0.0.0, default 192.168.1.1.

This will let you test ping from 941 to 8.8.8.8 but still does not let laptop traffic through. This seems to confirm some issue on the 841/941 not forwarding traffic to the other end when wds status is RUN.

Question to TP-Link - In system routing table - should there not be a default route to gateway 192.168.1.1 in this case instead of 0.0.0.0 by default
