DHCP Client list doesnt show up from WDS Bridged router.

[Engr Khawaja]

Hi,

I am trying to understand client list feature. I have ASUS 66U B1 Router. And it works fine, I added another router to extend range using WDS feature [TP Link Router], WDS router has DHCP disabled.

Clients connected to ASUS are shown clearly in their client list. But Client connected through WDS router doesnt show up there. Is there any way to show which clients are connected through TP Link Router?

Thanks

What model is the router? You didn’t state the model of the Tp link router

Some of the newer TP links won’t show connected clients in AP / DHCP disabled mode.

Not sure at what point they stopped. But I know the latest AC1500 won’t show clients connect to it while in AP mode


Did you just disable DHCP or did you put it in actual AP mode?

It is set as Router Mode, since I am using it as WDS bridge so I have to disable DHCP.

You have to disable the SPI firewall.

WDS is layer 2, so DHCP doesn't come into play...

Where things get odd is that WDS implementations may not forward the attached devices to the host upstream - so the WDS serving station might not send over the attached client stations...
