I have configured the TP-Link to use WDS to connect to my main router, which is an Asus ATX-11000.

The wireless connection seems to work, I can ping the main router, other IP addresses on the internet, but dhcp is not working. The TP-Link is not forwarding client dhcp packets to the main router. So clients plugged into the TP-LINK ethernet ports they don't get an ip address, default gateway, dns settings, etc.

Even though DHCP is disabled on the TP-Link, I still configured the default gateway and primary DNS, based on posts in the forum, but that did not help.

If I manually configure the clients ip, gateway, dns, then they can access the internet, but I need to get the dhcp working.

Has anyone got this to work.

The actual WDS setup went very smoothly.

One other question, does the TP-LINK's wireless connection also support clients connecting? Ideally, I don't want that, I just want the ehthernet ports to use the main network, using the wireless link as a backhaul.
