problem? It's a hidden option in control panel ( style="display:none" ) not a problem with navigator... ;)

It's hidden in the HTML (style="display:none;")... you can change it on the fly in firefox with firebug extension (see captures)

There are a lot of hidden options ;)

This is even hidden with no style formating back at NA ver 1.12. (IE8 view source; find wds)

I sure wish they would follow through with some projects. It would be nice to have all the posibilites working.

OK this topic was alive a while ago but it's exactly what i need. Thanks to firebug and you guys, I've been able to see the WDS option and the WDS AP MAC Address. I enabled WDS option and saved, but it wont stay "on" when i reload the page. I entered a mac address in WDS AP MAC Address list and saved, and this is still there even after reloading the page.

I want to connect 2 routers with WDS mode, and the DIR-635 is capable of it!! Just hidden, bloody bastards (DLINK)!

Is it possible to get the WDS option "on" for real?? And why the WDS AP MAC Address "stay" (the mac address i've entered) and not the WDS option ?

thanks.

PS: excuse my English, it's not my native language.
