Question to netgear: wds and wpa
I own a DG834GBv3 router and a WG602v3 access point which I want to use as a repeater. However, even when using the latest firmware, this is not possible, when wpa encryption is selected. I found this...
do you see anywhere on your box an advertisement of WDS?
the link to the german website goes to the DG834GB as a model series. this series includes dg834gbv1 (no wds), dg834gbv2 (no wds), dg834gbv3 (wds only with latest firmware) and dg834gbv4 (capable of wds by default). the datasheet contains all the functions the current model delivers (which would ne the v4 not the v3).
your statement would be correct if your box had stated that wds with wpa is beeing supported. but you wont find wds anywhere on the v3's box.
so far none of the netgear routers do support WPA/WPA2 in wds mode.. the only 2 devices capable of that yet are the wg602v3/v4 and the wg302v2.
