Wireless Distribution System (WDS)

When WDS is enabled, the Router functions as a wireless repeater and is

able to wireless communicate with other APs via WDS links. WDS allows

you to connect Access Points wirelessly and extend a wired infrastructure

to locations where cabling is impossible or difficult to implement.

To create a WDS network, enter the MAC addresses of the Access

Points that you want included in the WDS links. There can be a maximum

of four access points.

Important:

• A WDS link is bidirectional; so this AP must know the MAC

Address of the other AP, and the other AP must also have a WDS

link back to this AP. Make sure the APs are configured with the

same Channel and Security settings.

• Compatibility between different brands and models is not

guaranteed. It is recommended that the WDS network be created

using products from the same manufacturer for maximum

compatibility.
