I have a new TP-Link (TL-WR740N) that I want to link to my 2Wire via ethernet (I want N speeds on my Wifi). I also have an old Airport Extreme that I’d like to use to extend the the network (obviously at G speed) using WDS that the TP-Link supports.
I might also like to add an Airport Extreme (an old one) via WDS to extend the network if possible. I’m assuming it can link via WDS the way the Express can.
How do I set this up? I know how to connect to the TP-Link, the 2Wire and both Airports in order to fiddle with the settings, but I’m not clear on how to to the fiddling.
Right now, I’m using the Extreme the way I want to use the TP Link. It’s connected to the 2Wire via ethernet and the Espress is linked, via WDS, to the Extreme. They show up as 2 different networks, which is fine, and both connect to the internet. Devices on the different networks don’t see each other, but that’s no big deal.
Thanks. In advance.
