(1) Check whether the SSID can be searched, if it fails, check the primary router status and test if other devices
can search the SSID of the primary router.
(2) Check whether the EW router can get IP address via DHCP successfully, if it fails, please check the DHCP
configuration on DHCP server and test if other devices connecting to the same SSID can get IP successfully.
(3) Put the secondary router and the primary router closer and do wireless bridge once again.
(4) Connect the LAN port of the primary router to the WAN port of the secondary router, and configure it as a
wired repeater, after it has bridged successfully, disconnect the network cable and switch as wireless repeater.
(5) Restore factory setting and bridge once again.
