3.8.3 WDS (Bridge)
Bridge or WDS (Wireless Distribution System) allows your ASUS
wireless access point to connect to another wireless access point
exclusively, preventing other wireless devices or stations to
access your ASUS wireless access point. It can also be considered
as a wireless repeater where your ASUS wireless access point
communicates with another access point and other wireless
devices.
To set up the wireless bridge:
1. From the navigation panel, go to Settings > Wireless > WDS.
2. Select WDS Only or Hybrid mode and add the MAC addresses
of APs in Remote AP List (Max Limit:4).
3. Ensure that this wireless access point and the AP you want to
connect to use the same channel.
4. Key in the remote AP MAC address in the Remote AP List eld,
open the remote AP’s WDS management interface, and key in
this access point’s MAC address.
5. To get the best performance, go to Settings > Wireless >
General and assign the same channel bandwidth, control
channel, and extension channel to every access point in the
network.
