WDS Bridge breaking after resetting main router
Model :
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version :
ISP :
I have a computer and I wanted to somehow connect it to the internet, but having a 20 meter long cable from the main router to the computer was not an option and having a wifi reciever was too slow of an option, so I settled with a bridge router right next to the machine. For this purpose I wanted to use my TL-WR1043ND router, but I'm running into a problem. My main router is a ZyXEL NBG6816 ARMOR Z1 router, and I connected the router to with WDS Bridging then I connected my computer to the router with a cable, however every time the main router shuts off because of power blackout or something the connection between the computer completely shuts off. I can't even connect to the bridge router through a browser and even pings wont go through. For some reason if I connect to the router through wifi, the connection works.
This is how I set up my router:
-I turn off DHCP first
-then I go into the wireless settings, change the name of the router to something else than the name of the main router
-then I turn on WDS briding, survey the main router and enter the correct password
-then I go into wireless security settings and I give the wifi a password
-finally I change the ip of the router to something else than 192.168.1.1 (mainly because the main router has the same ip). I tried different IPs, e.g. 1.2 or 1.200 or even 1.255 but none of them changed the outcome
-after this the router resets automatically
After the router breaks I have to factory reset the router and do the whole thing again
Can anyone help?
