How to created multiple Wifi AccessPoints connecting (WDS Wifi Bridge) to one central Internet-Wifi-AccessPoint - Difference between TL-WA901N and TL-WA901ND

Difference between TL-WA901N and TL-WA901ND

the D probably stands for D-etachable (Antennas)

the Antennas of the TL-WA901ND are detachable

those of the TL-WA901N not

really like it if it is possible to upgrade wifi antennas for better signal over long distances with obstructions

DO NOT BUY TL-WA901N!

ONLY TL-WA901ND!

there seem to be even more differences as ONLY the WA901ND supports WDS bridging: so if user wants that:

only buy TL-WA901ND!

what this does:

create a new WifiAccessPoint (with different SSID) while uplink-wifi-connecting to an already existing accesspoint (Starlink)

so when user connects to “NewWifiAccessPoint” all traffic will be WDS-Bridge-forwarded to whatever is connected to StarlinkWifiAccessPoint

different supported Operation Modes?

=======================================

this is a screenshot of a TL-WA901ND, and realized that those 3 Wireless Operation Modes are missing from the TL-WA901N
