ADVANCED SETUP

WDS (Wireless Distribution System)

The WDS provides a means to extend the range of a Wireless Local

Area Network (WLAN). WDS allows an access point to establish a

direct link to other access points, and stations to roam freely within

the area covered by the WDS. (Default: Enable WDS - No)

To establish a WDS connection between access points, follow the

steps below.

Notes: 1. Be sure that all access points with the same WDS links

should use the same operation “Mode” (802.11a or

802.11b/g) and radio “Channel” number.

2. Choosing “Auto” of the communication channel is not

suggested for using WDS. (See “Channel and SSID” on

page 47.)
