6.4.3 WDS Application
The following figure shows a wireless network for Humans Resource Department
(marked as A in the figure), Finance Department (marked as B), and Marketing
Department (marked as C) in an enterprise. If the three departments share one
Wireless N Universal Repeater, signals searched by computers may be rather
weak or even no signals are available. However, if each of the three departments
uses a Wireless N Universal Repeater, we can use WDS to connect the three
routers to provide perfect wireless coverage for the whole areas.
