Hi everyone,
I am trying to setup a wireless bridge from my 4G (LTE3302 4G Router) to my main AP (Negear R8000 running Tomato) this is to provide internet access to the clients on that LAN.
I carefully setup both AP sides of the WDS on 2.4Ghz wireless matching the settings and indeed can successfully created a bridge (can ping the LTE3302 on its static IP 192.168.1.3) , but only when Security Mode is set to 'No Security' / disabled. I tried WPA2-PSK (LTE3302) with WPA / WPA2 Personal - AES (R8000 tomato) with matching shared key, but to no avail of every combination I have tried only disabling security allows the WDS connection to succeed. What I need is to get it working with WPA2-PSK (shared key). I expect its quite a common scenerio - the 4G LTE modem will live in my loft ~5m of the external antenna so not ethernet cables handy WDS is the answer, just need to get the security and its all good!
Thanks for your help!

Hi Wilson,
I have no same issue as yours, both “no security” and “WPA2-PSK” mode work well.
Do you check if security mode on both devices is the same? My selection on both devices is “WPA2-PSK; AES mode”.
