Do not discount that the cause may be the router you are connecting to. Also try moving your router/extender to a different location.

I have moved it a little to see if it was a signal issue. At work I'm in the lower level with cement walls. I also only have two places for outlets so I'm limited to where I can move it to. My next thought was to reset the modem it's connecting to. But then that involves calling the people who manage the network. My boss will want to call to make sure it will not mess anything up by restarting it.

 

I did notice in settings that DHCP was not diabled after I reset it. I believe it was before. When I disable it then I can't connect to the network at all. It acts like it's trying to connect and stops.

If you can take the router home to test, that might be best to avoid interrupting the work environment.

 

What you mentioned about DHCP, yes that would need to be disabled, but that would be the last thing to turn off. 

 

When I configure WDS bridging, I usually do this:

 

1. Configure the Wi-Fi settings on the extender (router)

2. Change the LAN IP address so it is on the same subnet as the network the router will be extendering.

3. Enable WDS, and connect to the network wanted.

4. Disable the DHCP server, save and then reboot the router.

 

When the router comes back on it should now be connected to the network and good to go. 

 

Setting up the 841 on another router would help to see if it actually is something on the office router blocking it or if the problem is inside the 841.
