Wds
Hello I have a brand new WAX204. It's working superb. I want to connect my old JWNR2010 as wireless repeater. Finished the required settings by looking at the YouTube video. Can't find WDS on m...
Here's the problem with that.
The JWNR2010 is so old/base model device that for it to operate as a repeater, the router would need to either have no security or wep security. Which if you used wep security, would mean the 2.4ghz speeds would default to the 54mbps speed that wep supports. Which would ruin the point of having an AX router. Or having no security which is a bit of a poor choice.
You can read about it more on page 42-45 of the manual for the jwnr2010.
If you're set on using it for additional coverage, I'd hardwire it in and use it in AP mode. Or I'd junk it and buy an extender from the proper generation to use.
