Home area is too large, wireless wall signal attenuation is too large, no signal how to do? Most routers now support wireless bridging and trunking, which gives us a good solution. My home is equipped with a D-Link router. I will share it with you with the D-Link router as a template. Through various ways, I can achieve comprehensive 360-degree coverage of the wireless network at home. If there is any problem, please correct me.

Let's talk about bridging first. Bridging is also called WDS. It is called wireless distribution system. The advantage of bridging is that it can connect two users with different physical locations and inconvenient wiring to the same local area network. Wireless bridging can also act as signal amplification. We can bridge multiple wireless routers together to achieve signal coverage.

In D-Link routers, wireless bridging has three modes: WDS only, WDS+AP, WDS+AP+router,

Explain separately that after selecting WDS, the router has no routing function, and no wireless signal is sent out. After bridging with this mode, the network port wiring of the two routers can access the Internet, and in the same local area network, they can visit each other.

WDS+AP: means bridging + wireless coverage, but there is no routing function. Generally, this type is selected for the secondary route in the bridging. After the bridging is successful, the network port and wireless signal of the secondary router can be used.

WDS+AP+Route: indicates bridge + wireless + router function. Generally, the main router selects this mode and configures broadband information first. If the router can access the Internet normally, the bridge information is configured.

The following is a formal description of the bridge steps:

1. Main router

1. Connect to the network, enter 192.168.0.1 in the address bar, username: admin, password: none, enter the D-LINK router settings interface

2. WAN port settings: PPPoE dialing, enter broadband account number and password

LAN port settings: keep the default 192.168.0.1

4. Wireless setting: wireless mode is selected as WDS+AP+RPUTER mode

SSID wireless name customization (generally does not support Chinese),

Channel: (Choose one of the channels, generally 1, 6 and 11, with less signal interference)

Turn on wireless function, turn on SSID broadcast function (so that wireless devices can search for this wireless path),

Wireless security settings: generally use WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK, set password (at least 8 digits)

MAC address: MAC address of the secondary router needs to be filled in (MAC address can be viewed on the label at the bottom of the device)

DHCP server: The main router needs to be turned on, so that the main router automatically assigns the IP address of the subordinate device. This item is turned on by default, and no special settings are required.

6. After saving the configuration, check the running status of the router and whether the parameters are effective.

Specific setting parameters are as follows:

Secondary router (bridge router)

1. Connect to the network, enter 192.168.0.1 in the address bar, username: admin, password: none

WAN port settings: no need to set

3. LAN port settings (): modify the default 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.2,(generally need to restart the router, you will use 192.168.0.2 to log in later, modify to prevent IP conflicts between the two routers)

4. Wireless settings: select WDS+AP mode, set the wireless name, channel, encryption method and password to the same as the main router, and fill in the MAC address of the main router in the MAC address column (MAC address can be viewed on the label at the bottom of the device)

5. The DHCP server of the secondary router needs to be closed, and it can be saved!

Specific parameter settings are as follows:

After the bridge is completed, how do you determine if the bridge is successful?

You can determine whether the wireless signal can enter the management address of the two routers 0.1 and 0.2 at the same time by connecting the wireless signal. For professional ones, you can use ping test.
