Hub Two WDS Management Settings; Using ASUS router as repeater

j2cuba — Fri, 07 Jul 2023 17:45:44 GMT

Hi.

I am trying to use my ASUS DSL-AC68U as a wireless repeater for my new Hub Two. I will be using it to repeat wirelessly, not using LAN.

In going through the process on my ASUS router, it advises that I need to "open the remote AP's WDS management interface and key in this router's MAC address"

I can't find in the Hub Two router management where I find WDS management.

Does it have this functionality?

Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

Pretty sure it doesn't.

Thanks, appreciate your quick reply.

Does this mean the Hub Two can't be configured to be used with any wireless repeaters, or is it just a problem if using a second router in repeater mode do you know?

Don`t believe so, or you would need to look for a router not expecting WDS Management. Could possibly look at wifi extenders that don`t require WDS Management.
