Does anyone have any experience with WDS setup?
I've got a standard O2 router and Tenda router (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/169923). I've followed guides in the reviews on ebuyer but just can't get it to work reliably.
I can connect to the Tenda, get a IP address (Sometimes need to rerequest via DHCP for address), can ping/tracert google.com with odd missing results quite at random (plus DNS sometimes fails).
It looks like 50% of packets are just going missing seemingly at random.
The current setup is:
Two different SSIDs
WEP with same key (Would like WPA but i'll settle for working first)
Both on channel 6 which appears relatively clear - I have no problems directly connecting to router from PC which is further away- I only want this as a ethernet<>wireless bridge for freesat+xbox.
Both Routers are configured for WDS and have the other router as WDS devices
Any ideas as I'd really like to get this sorted and I've played about for several hours.
Thanks.
