Note: 

Before configuring WDS, please ensure the following first: 

1. Make sure different IP addresses are assigned to each WDS supported wireless device 
used for bridging. (ex. 192.168.10.1,192.168.10.2, 192.168.10.3) to avoid IP address 
conflict. See 

page 30

 for changing the LAN IP address. 

2. If you are using more than one WDS supported router, please make sure the LAN 
DHCP server is enabled on only one and disabled on all others to avoid IP address 
conflict. See 

page 31

 for DHCP server options. 

3. Configure the same wireless channel and use the same on all WDS supported wireless 
devices. See 

page 10

 for configuring basic wireless settings. 

4. Configure the same wireless security and key on all WDS supported devices. See page 
15 for configuring wireless security settings. 

 

To configure WDS bridging between TEW-828DRU routers: 

1. Log into your router management page (see “

Access your router management page

” 

on page 9). 

 

2. Click on 

Advanced > Wireless (2.4GHz

 

or 

5GHz

),

 

and click on 

WDS

 

3. Next to 

Wireless Distribution System (WDS)

, in an empty field, enter the MAC 

address of the other WDS supported wireless device you are bridging. (e.g. 

00:11:22:AA:BB:CC)

 

 

 

4. To save changes, click 

Apply

Note: 

If you would like to discard the changes, click 

Cancel 

before you click 

Save

 

For additional routers, make sure to disable the DHCP server first on all additional 
routers and configure the LAN IP address to be different on each router. You will 
connect devices to the LAN ports 1-4 only on all additional routers and the WAN port is 
not used. Then, repeat the steps for additional routers you are bridging.   

 

In the diagram below, the blue color represents the WDS wireless bridged connections 

between the routers. The green color represents access point mode connections 

between wireless client devices and the routers.
