Then your router hands out DHCP ip's to your devices. It should be possible to use static IP, but you can't just use ANY IP there are special ranges like 192.168.0.0/16 and 10.0.0.0/24 and 172. something. | |

| May 3, 2023 at 10:01 | comment | added | Tom Yan | According to this "WDS bridging" works similarly as Ethernet bridging, i.e., the two wireless network would at least appear to be a single broadcast domain and you are expected to disable the DHCP server and change its LAN IP on the "client" router manually (yeah kinda dumb). I think the real question is what "connecting problems" you were trying to solve. If you are really just trying to "extend" the WiFi signal for a bit, I suppose you can just continue with WDS bridging and follow the instruction in the linked guide. | |

In this screen t.ly/M-4C my router takes the wifi signal and produce another one. At this point I can manipulate the signal, do some parental control, bandwidth control, etc. I dont think this is so uncommon. What I want to do is positively possible, I've done it already, but I dont remember how, and I can't replicate the process. | |
