"Both routers must be WDS-capable, like my two
SpeedTouches. WDS as implemented on my SpeedTouches cannot handle
WPA security, so I’m limited to WEP plus access control
through registration. You may have to experiment as to the best
security setup consistent with WDS and your router pair. The
following instructions assume that you have a way of logging into
the home page of each of these routers. It probably just works if
the router DHCP server is enabled, but see below under Using a
dedicated hardware wireless bridge for a method to establish a
point-to-point wired connection.
"Step 1 The wireless interfaces of both routers must be
identically configured: fixed channel and security setup. The
network name (SSID) need not be the same, but could be if
desired.
"Step 2 Make sure that the two routers don’t have the same
default address. My two SpeedTouches both had the 192.168.1.254
address, so I changed the remote router to 192.168.1.253 and
adapted the dynamic address range to suit. Note that this breaks
the connection, requiring it to be re-established with the new
address."
