HiI would really appreciate it if someone can help me with my setup. I have a fibre connection at home that is connected to a Spark wifi router (Huawei HG630b). I get a signal downstairs and want to connect a desktop computer and a LAN printer to my network. The printer doesn't have Wifi only Ethernet connection. I have a spare TP-Link TD-W8968 router that I would like to use. My idea is that I would connect the TP-Link wirelessly to my Huawei router and then plug an Ethernet cable from the TP-Link to the desktop and another Ethernet cable to the printer. I tried using WDS and read about it online however I am struggling to get it to work. These are the steps that I followed:Huawei Config:Set the DHCP range to start at 192.168.1.100 (I read that you need to make sure that there is available range so I removed any IP addresses below the .100 so that they are not available to be assigned by DHCP)Turn on WDS on Huawei and enter the MAC Address of the TP-linkSet the wifi channel to 1Restarted the deviceTP-link ConfigTurn off DHCP on the TP-LinkSet it up in Bridge modeSet up wifi channel to 1Scan wifi signal to select the wireless network that is being broadcasted by HuaweiEnter the Huawei MAC Address in TP-LinkEnter the wireless network password Set up a new wireless network on TP-Link to have the a different name as the one currently being broadcasted by Huawei and assign a password for testing purposesRestarted the deviceI tried to connect the desktop to the TP-Link router by Ethernet cable however there is no internet connection on the desktop. I am not really sure what I am doing wrong. I would appreciate it if someone can help please trouble shoot this as I have spent hours on it and I just can't figure out why it is not working so any help would be greatly appreciated.
