Yes I know that, but I'd like to understand why DD-WRT requires the MAC address of the second router into the first.
In other words, if the TP-Link firmware requires only to use the MAC address of first router, why DD-WRT doesn't work in the same way, I mean without cross referencing?
If you you don't want to enter MAC addresses in the DD-WRT WDS GUI then you enable Lazy WDS. _________________ Home Network on Telus 1Gb PureFibre - 10GbE Copper Backbone
