Wireless Repeater:
The other use of the WDS, Wireless Repeater mode is to extend wireless area coverage between
wired and wireless networks. This mode is normally used in large, open areas, where pulling a wire is
prohibited or not cost effective and in residential circumstances. By settings up the BSSIDs (MAC
addresses) between AP’s WDS partners, stations can intersect with any AP of this BSSID and move
between the coverage of both APs.
In both cases, the P-520r acts as a network bridge between wireless and wired networks. All data
received by the P-520r on its wireless or Ethernet interface is broadcast on the wireless interface to all
connected devices that are authorized in the ACL (access control list).
