WDS on MT300

Why won’t my Mango connect to a TP-link access point for either an extender or WDS application?

can you share the tp-link device model?

Yes, it is model EAP110-Outdoor.

extender should work for all APs.

When setting up extender failed, can you still ssh to the router and get log?

Ok. The attempt to use WDS to the TP-link access point failed. I immediately ssh the MT300 and copied the log, which is shown below…

As you use WDS/Extender, why the log still shows “wan” connection?

Do you have cable connected to the wan port?

There is no cable connected to the wan port. The Mango is brand new just out of the box.

This is still unresolved.

Pls use Extender, not WDS.

For the EAP110-Outdoor, is it using EAP (802.11x which requires username/password) or PSK/PSK2 (simple wifi key).

Mango does not connect to 802.11x network
