I have a TPLink WT940N router, now I want to use WDS on Buffalo WZR -G300N (dd-wrt fw) to connect to TPLINK as a secondary AP.
Please tell me how? Thanks!

1. The 2 routers must have the same chipset manufacturers. You need to find out what they are. WDS will rarely work if chipsets are not from the same manufacturers.
2. They both must run dd-wrt firmware.
3. There is a wiki on wds ddwrt. Google it.
4. The alternative is to use the repeater bridge method to extend your network.
Good luck!!!
