To perform wireless bridging on ZTE routers, the following steps need to be followed: 1. Confirm the parameters of the main router
Need to confirm the wireless name (SSID), wireless password, wireless channel, and management IP address of the main router. These pieces of information are the foundation for wireless bridging. 2、 Set up a secondary router
1. Connect to the secondary router: Connect to the wireless or wired network of the secondary router using devices such as a computer or mobile phone.
2. Login management interface: Enter the management IP address of the secondary router in the browser and log in to the management interface of the secondary router.
3. Modify LAN port IP address: To avoid IP address conflicts, it is necessary to modify the LAN port IP address of the secondary router. For example, if the IP address of the primary router is 192, 168, 1, 1, then the IP address of the secondary router can be modified to 192, 168, 1, 2 or other IP addresses that are not within the DHCP allocation range of the primary router.
4. Turn off DHCP service: In the management interface of the secondary router, find the DHCP service settings and turn them off. In bridging mode, the secondary router does not need to allocate its own IP address, but is assigned uniformly by the primary router. 3、 Configure wireless bridging
1. Enable WDS function: In the wireless settings of the secondary router, find WDS (Wireless Distributed System) or bridging function and enable it.
2. Scan signal: Click the scan button to scan for nearby wireless network signals. Find the SSID of the main router in the scan results and click select.
3. Enter wireless password: Enter the wireless password of the primary router to ensure that the secondary router can successfully connect to the wireless network of the primary router.
4. Save Settings: After completing the above settings, save and restart the secondary router. After restarting, the secondary router will attempt to connect to the wireless network of the primary router. 4、 Check the connection status
After restarting the secondary router, log in to its management interface again and check the connection status of the wireless bridge. If it shows that it has been connected to the main router, it indicates that the wireless bridging setup has been successful. 5、 Adjust position and signal strength
In order to achieve better wireless signal coverage, the position of the secondary router can be adjusted according to the actual situation. It is recommended to use a mobile phone or other mobile device to detect signal strength at different locations and adjust the position until the most satisfactory signal is found. matters needing attention
1. When performing wireless bridging, please ensure that both the primary and secondary routers support WDS functionality.
2. If both the primary router and the secondary router are dual band, one of the frequency bands needs to be selected for bridging operation.
3. During the setup process, if you encounter any problems or questions, you can refer to the router manual or contact customer service for assistance.
After following the above steps, the ZTE router should be able to successfully perform wireless bridging, thereby expanding the coverage range of the wireless network.
