My WR541G v7 does not have WDS. Don't know if there are more
recent versions that have that feature. TP-LINK routers are dirt cheap
though, might as well get the one with the latest backdoors.

It's a thousand kilometers away. I left it setup for a
relative. But the manual says nothing about WDS. But I found it on the
datasheet. Nice to know it's there. TY.
