Slow Internet speed, poor WIFI signal? This is how you can operate your router

Perhaps when you are working, you will encounter similar requests from customers, such as: enhancing WIFI signals, increasing network speed, or adding a large number of routers for debugging and connection.

The connection between two wireless routers is called "bridging", or WDS, in professional terms.

Today, Lao Yang wants to talk to you about wireless router bridging. How to operate and how to set it up, read on.

1. Prerequisites

The first router A has been successfully set up and connected to the network, that is, the basic settings of the first router A have been completed. At this time, the second extended router is called router B.

2. Main Router A Setup Steps

(1) Enter 192.168.1.1 (usually the router's setting address) in the computer browser, click Wireless Settings - Wireless Network Basic Settings, and enter the following interface:

Please note that WDS cannot be checked on the main router, otherwise there will be a malfunction.

(2) Enter the wireless security settings again: Set the encryption method and password as shown below: and write them down as you will need them when setting up the second device.

3. Secondary router B configuration steps

(1) After entering the settings interface, first modify the IP address of router B. The modification path is: Network Parameters--LAN Port Settings, as shown below:

Usually the IP of the main router A is 192.168.1.1, then the IP of router B is 192.168.1.2;

There are also routers whose default setting is 192.168.0.1, so the setting of Router B is: 192.168.0.2.

Just make sure the router IP is in the same network segment. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand the network segment, just set it like this.

(2) Open the basic wireless settings of router B, check WDS, and then scan the first router:

(3) Find Router A, click Connect, enter the password you just set for the first router, and click Save:

(4) Disable the DHCP service. The purpose of this is to prevent it from conflicting with the first IP address:

Check whether Router B is connected successfully. If it is connected successfully, you can access the Internet through Router B.
