Wireless Distribution System

[Crigsha]

Hey there

Im trying to do a WDS between my Linksys WAG54G and Micra Digital (one from tesco but labled Belkin) Both routers support WDS. I will refer to the routers as

Linksys - Router 1
Micra - Router 2

Basically, my bedroom is really far away from the main telephone port, to long to run an extention cable as i lose 20%
Router 1 has broken ethernet ports, and both routers arnt powerful enuf to go wirelessly up to my room. So i want to bridge them together, but i dont know how to do it

Ive read a few things about it, but still cant understand it.

Router 1 is connected downstairs to ADSL, router 2 is connected in my bedroom to ethernet (look at attachment)

On router 2, its got an automatic WDS function so that the mac comes up when in range.

On router 1, i have entered the Mac address of router 2, although theres 3 MAC's for it :S

LAN MAC Address: **-12-BF-**-BD-23
Wireless MAC Address: **-12-BF-**-BD-25
WAN MAC Address: **-12-BF-**-BD-24

So i dont know whch one, io think the Wireless one. But ive tried all 3

Now, i dont know what to do lol

Can anyone help me

Ive seen this http://www.devicescape.com/docs/smap/Ad ... 1000093633 but this still dont help me

Thanks in advance

All sounds o.k. - BUT you need to make sure that the AUTO MAC/WDS function on your other router is actually picking up the MAC of your router and not a neighbours......

Does the router allow you to manually enter the router MAC ?

Dumb question but how are you checking that WDS isn't working ?

Can you web brows to the other router IP ?

Yea the Micra lists all AP it can pic up, actually 3 of them, next doors, and across the road.

Yes i can manually enter Macs, which is good

Its done now i think. Seems ok now

I think i was gettin confused on which MAC to put in, the wireless one now as that makes more sense

So, its all up and running, and now i gotta sucure cables under carpets lol

Thanks for your help
