CompUSA Wireless Router - WDS Config

I don't know if it makes a difference, but upgrade to the latest firmware, 1.40 from

I don't plan on using it in a WDS network, so I haven't tested the actual setup -- but if you look at the "Basic Settings" screen, there is a "Mode" dropdown. There is an "AP Bridge WDS" selection there. Once you select that, it adds a list of "MAC Address" fields and a "Security" field to add the AP to AP security settings.

(Now if you have any ideas how to get QoS to work :-) )

I wouldn't say "sells for" - but I've been pretty lucky with rebates -- I keep track of them and call if they don't show up. I had two CompUSA rebate issues...

One of them, years ago, CompUSA gave me the money back to my credit card, since there was an issue with the rebate. The other one, was due to CD ROM drive company which went out of business. I received a check directly from CompUSA (although it was a few YEARS late)!

I think he is just trying to see how many clueless answers he can get from you. ;)

Uh, here we go again. I wouldn't say "sells for", please let us know when your rebate check(s?) arrive...

I see you doing some talking here. But what I don't see is you coming up with any answers other than you running you *mouth*.

I finally got it to work. I had to enter the MAC ID of each router into the other's router MAC ID list. The final trick was to power down both routers. That did the trick. The routers seem to work great.

I'm willing to sacrifice a lot of documentation and tech support for a product that has the features I want, is stable, and sells for $2.99!!!! For those of you out there who need a repeater solution, this is a great option. Hurry, as the rebate ends today.

Looks like the problem got solved by others in spite of your help. Keep up the good work! ;)

That's what they are there for and the NG. Your just another *clown* on the scene that has to run your piss ant mouth.

BTW, you keep up your good work that looks like it amounts to *nothing*.

You go *boy*.

Duane, have you tried decaff? ;)

I also keep track of my rebates. Years ago, I ran into problems. In the last few years, I've received every rebate as promised without having to make a single phone call. Sometimes it takes forever, but they do show up.

I know it's a pain. They're counting on people to buy the stuff and then to not bother sending in the paper work. If you do, there are deals to be had.

P.S. My two CompUSA routers have been running in WDS repeater mode now for almost 24 hours without any hickups.
