3.18.3 WDS (Bridge)
Bridge or WDS (Wireless Distribution System) allows your ASUS
wireless router to connect to another wireless access point
exclusively, preventing other wireless devices or stations to access
your ASUS wireless router. It can also be considered as a wireless
repeater where your ASUS wireless router 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 router 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 router’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 router in the network.
