This is possible,
I've looked on my TG585, Although it is a v7, the steps should be the same/similar
If you login to your router via http://192.168.1.254 with the standard username and password (admin and CP number in capitals) - Select "Home Network" on the left hand side, followed by "WLAN:PlusnetWireless" - Once here, click on "Configure" on the top right hand corner. If you scroll down to the bottom of the screen under Pick A Task, you should see "Configure WDS"
Tick the box to enable it, and press apply
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Matt

Thanks for your advice - you took me a long way towards a solution but unfortunately the last step proved impossible as, on my TG585v8, there was no "Pick A Task" menu and hence no "Configure WDS".
It's all a bit frustrating as until recently I had a set-up where instead of the Netgear Router which I'm trying to re-employ as a wireless repeater / bridge, I was using a Belkin Wireless G Universal Range Extender box which worked without having to do anything at the Thomson Router end of things. The Belkin unit has developed a wobble however and I can't rely on it now.
I'm going to ask Netgear if there are any other things I should be doing with their box to make it work correctly, but in the meantime if there are any other suggestions...
Many thanks, Ozzie

The TG585v8 doesn't appear to have an option saying "configure WDS". This is only present on the TG585V7.
Is there any other way to enable WDS, through CLI commands or something else?

Not sure that it's supported on the v8. Why not run an ethernet cable and use the second router as a wireless access point.

Quote from: davidbackhouse I have tried using TG582n as main router, and then linking TG585v8 to this with an ethernet cable to use TG585v8 as further wireless access point; but cannot get the 585 to go through to the internet. I have turned DHCP off for the 585. Any ideas?
this may help
