Return it for a refund and buy something you can figure out. Don't reward makers of hard-to-use products with your money. – Spiff Aug 7 '11 at 17:33
Technically a computer is a "hard to use" product so I shouldn't buy it :) I think I just need a few hints from someone who already did wds between those routers :) In the end I think that no company makes an easy router to router wi fi communication :) – Pitto Aug 8 '11 at 10:35

Installing DD-WRT on the TL-WR1043ND allowed me to use it as wireless extender (client bridge). It has been quite easy and straightforward :)

DD-WRT is a Linux based alternative OpenSource firmware suitable for a great variety of WLAN routers and embedded systems. The main emphasis lies on providing the easiest possible handling while at the same time supporting a great number of functionalities within the framework of the respective hardware platform used.
