Simple AP Setup --ubnt

Network Topology We'll consider this simple network topology: 1 Router/Gateway connected to Internet and/or private LAN (IP Address: 10.10.10.254/24) 1 Switch for private LAN (optional) 1 AP AirOS device directly connected to Router (IP Address: 10.10.10.253/24) 1 or more Wireless Clients (Notebook, WiFi-Phone, other Wireless devices...) The Router assign IP Address to network devices by DHCP Server. Alternatively, if you prefer, you can set static IP Address on Client. Devices configuration Router Setup Router can be your ISP ADSL Router, a Ubiquiti Routerstation or a Mikrotik RouterBoard plus Ethernet Modem... please refer to device manual. Set your Internet connection according to ISP paramenters (WAN IP Address,...

How to Use the TD-W8960N Wireless Bridge (WDS) Function with another TD-W8960N

A Wireless Distribution System (WDS) is a system that enables the wireless interconnection of access points in an IEEE 802.11 network. It allows a wireless network to be expanded using multiple access points without the need for a wired backbone to link them. The following is a simple SOHO solution guide about WDS. As an example, we define the TD-W8960N that connecting to the Internet as the main TD-W8960N, and the other one as secondary TD-W8960N. Please follow the instructions to configure them. Part 1: configure the Main TD-W8960N Step 1 Log into TD-W8960N’s management page. If you are not sure about how to do this, please click here. Step 2 On the left-side menu, click Wireless -> Advanced, and please change the channel...

How to Configure WDS Bridging on TP-LINK Dual Band Routers

A Wireless Distribution System (WDS) is a system that enables the wireless interconnection of access points in an IEEE 802.11 network. It allows a wireless network to be expanded using multiple access points without the need for a wired backbone to link them, as is traditionally required. For more information about WDS, please refer to Wikipedia. The following chart is an example of WDS bridging.   Note:   1.     LAN IP of extended router should be different but in the same subnet of the root router; 2.     The DHCP Server on extended router should be disabled; 3.     WDS bridging only requires the WDS setting on either the root router or the extended...
