By WDS, two or more LAN segments can be connected wirelessly. As
illustrated in the below diagram, a pair of wireless LAN-to-LAN bridges is
used to connect two LAN segments. Since the AP is WDS-enabled, it can be
used as a wireless bridge.
y Specify the MAC address of the AP at the other end of the WDS link.
y Select the corresponding Enabled check box.
(Note: An AP can have up to 6 WDS links to other APs or wireless bridges.)
3.6.2 Security
Security settings include SSID broadcasts, Wireless client isolation, Security
mode, IEEE 802.11 Authentication algorithm, WEP keys, MAC-Address-
Based Access Control.
3.6.2.1 Basic Security Setting
For security reasons, it’s highly recommended that the security mode be set
to options other than Open System. When the security mode is set to Open
System, no authentication and data encryption will be performed. Additionally,
you can disable the SSID broadcasts functionality so that a wireless client
computer with an “any” SSID cannot associate with the AP.
