Oh crap. One more WDS thread.

Has anyone tried an AR5211 (RB112) as a WDS slave to other WDS APs? I need to connect to three APs (not MT). They show in the reg table and dynamic bridge but don’t pass traffic. AP running and the SSID repeats. Simple setup - no encryption. Thoughts?

Looking at my problem closer, I’ve noted the RX counts are always zero (0) and the signal is always -95 in the reg table when in WDS mode.

That is usually an indication that the WDS connection is only “one way” i.e. the 112 has linked to the AP but the AP has not linked back again. No traffic will pass unless the connection is both ways

Sorry, I don’t see a selection for a “one way” interface.:slight_smile: Any advice?
I’ve now tried a duplicate RB112 as WDS master; still no data passes.
