Model: TD-W9960  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.5.0 0.8.0 v009d.0 Build 230705 Rel.45626n

I had a look at a previous solution suggested on a different thread but It hasn't worked for me. I need to know if it's possible and all the steps to do it successfully.Screenshot

WDS is not a standardised feature and may or may not work with a particular main router.

  @terziyski I'd like to know if there is a tested working method for this type of router. Can't the guys at TP-LINK advise on this?
