Hi,

I'm interested in this as well. I have a Netcom wireless NF10W as main router and would like to use my TP Link TD W8970 as wifi repeater. I tried enabling WDS in the TP Link settings but it does not seem to connect to my main router (it doesn't appear in the DHCP clients connected to the main router).
I see in the following page that Repeater or Bridge mode is what I should be looking for: http://www.tp-link.com/us/faq-442.html
However I can't see those options in my settings, I only see DSL, 3G/4G or wireless router. I have updated to the latest available firmware (0.9.1.2 v0035.0 160816 Rel.35740n) to no avail.

Is it possible to do that?

Thanks in advance for your answers

Hi,

Some progress. WDS now works.

My setup is:
- Router 1 (Netcom) connected to internet. LAN config: IP 192.168.20.1, mask 255.255.255.0, assigning addresses from 192.168.20.2 to 20.99
- Router 2 (TP Link) connected to the Wifi of router 1. LAN config: IP 192.168.20.100, mask 255.255.255.0, assigning addresses from 192.168.20.100 to 20.199

If I connect a computer in Wifi on router 2 (TP link), I can surf the internet and the speed is good. My computer actually gets an IP from the range of router 1, and shows in the DHCP leases on router 1 (Netcom). In fact the IP gateway is 192.168.20.1 which is router 1. But, even though it appears to be on the same subnetwork as router 1, some of the services don't seem to work so well. For instance I can't see the other computers in iTunes shared library, or in the network window. So it looks like some of the autodiscovery / zeroconf type of services don't work, but, if I type the IP of another computer, than I can access it's shared drives.
Any idea where I should look?

thanks you for share!
