WDS performs optimally with devices from the same brand and sometimes even the same model. This was my understanding a long time ago when working with Linksys and Motorola equipment. If you manage to connect both routers together, expect occasional problems. Be aware that WDS may lower your speed right away, particularly with the issues I mentioned earlier. Could you share screenshots of your WiFi settings pages (including advanced configurations where you entered WDS details) from both devices? We’ll review them to spot any adjustments needed. Once you’ve checked the settings and feel confident, I suggest resetting the main wireless router to factory settings and reconfiguring it. Assign a different SSID for the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, and make sure each radio operates on a distinct wireless channel that doesn’t overlap with nearby networks. If this still doesn’t work, it might be time to replace your router.
