You can refer to the following operations to solve your problem
1. Correctly set the bridge mode
Connect the network cable: Connect the network cable of the wireless router to the Ethernet port of the laptop or desktop computer.
Enter the settings interface: Open the browser and enter the IP address of the router to enter the router's settings page.
Configure WAN settings: In the router's settings page, find the WAN settings option and set it to bridge mode or access point mode.
Disable DHCP function: Disable the DHCP function of the wireless router and save the changes.
2. Connect the main and secondary routers
Use Ethernet cable: Use an Ethernet cable from the LAN port of the wireless router to the WAN port of another router (the main router) to connect the two.
Configure the main router: Turn on the DHCP function and wireless function in the settings page of the other router, and configure them to ensure that they do not conflict with the wireless router.
3. Ensure stable signal
Optimize location: If the wireless network signal is unstable or the signal is not strong, try to reinstall the router and adjust the direction of the antenna.
Set the maximum output power: Reset the router to adjust the signal output power to the maximum.
4. Troubleshoot and solve problems
Check the connection: Make sure all devices are properly connected and check whether all cables and interfaces are secure.
Restart devices: Restart all related devices, including routers, computers, and mobile devices.
Update firmware: Make sure the router's firmware is the latest version, as old versions may contain errors that are incompatible with bridge mode.
5. Use specific bridge settings
WDS bridge: For routers that support WDS (Wireless Distribution System), you can follow specific steps to set up bridges, including logging in to the secondary router management page, entering the WDS bridge setting interface, connecting to the main router network, setting the bridge wireless name (SSID) and password, and changing the secondary router LAN port IP address.
Bind IP and MAC address: Bind the IP address and MAC address of the secondary router in the main router to ensure a stable connection.
6. DHCP service settings
Turn off the secondary router DHCP service: Based on the principle that "the same physical LAN usually has only one gateway, one DNS server, and one DHCP server", it is recommended to turn off the DHCP service of the secondary router.
7. Reset the router
Use the RESET button: If the router has been set up and you don't remember the password, you can press and hold the RESET button on the back of the router to reset the router, and wait for about a minute for the router to automatically restart before configuring it.
