If the IP address you have reserved for your PC is currently used by another client, then you will not be able to obtain a new IP address from the device's DHCP server, instead, you must manually specify a different IP address for your PC to access Internet.
Chapter 4 Wireless Settings 4.1 Wireless Basic Settings Here you can expand your wireless coverage with the following modes: Wireless AP (default mode) and WDS. 1) Wireless Access Point (AP): Select this mode if you want to convert an existing wired network to a wireless network so as to extend Internet access to wireless clients. 2) WDS Bridge Mode: wireless distribution system (WDS) is a system enabling the wireless interconnection of access points in an IEEE 802.11 network.
4.1.1 Wireless AP Mode 1) SSID: This is the public name of your wireless network. The default is Wilink_XXXXXX. XXXXXX is the last six characters in the device's MAC address. It is recommended that you change it for better security and identification. 2) Channel: Select a channel that is the least used by neighboring networks from the drop-down list or Auto. Channels 1, 6 and 11 are recommended. 3) OK: Click to save your settings.
4.1.2 WDS Bridge Mode WDS Bridge Mode: wireless distribution system (WDS) is a system enabling 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 traditional requirement for a wired backbone to link them. Note: The Access Points you select MUST support WDS.
For example: As seen in the figure above, PC1 and PC2 access Internet via a wireless connection to Router 1. While PC3 and PC4 are too far to directly connect to Router 1 for Internet access. Now you can use the WDS bridge feature to let PC3 and PC4 access Internet. Before you get started: 1. View and note down the wireless security settings: security mode, cipher type, security key, etc. on Router 1. 2. Verify that DHCP server is enabled on Router 1. 3.
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0; Then do as follows: 1. Configure Router 2: 1) Wireless Working Mode: Select WDS Bridge Mode. 2) Click Open Scan (or Scan) to search for Router 1.

3) Select the wireless network to connect and click OK.
4) Verify that the SSID, channel, and AP MAC address on the page match those of the added wireless network. If not, manually correct them.
5) Close Scan and click OK to save your settings.
6) Go to Wireless Security page and set the wireless security settings exactly as they are on the link partner (Router 1). 7) Go to DHCP Server to disable the DHCP on Router 2. Now you have finished all settings on Router 2 required for WDS. 2. Configure Router 1: 1) Go to wireless section on Router 1 and specify WDS (or WDS Bridge) as its wireless working mode. 2) Manually enter Router 2's MAC address (Also, you can use the Scan option as mentioned above) and click OK to finish your settings. 3.
