You can configure up to seven WDS links, in addition to the primary WLAN. For
information on configuring WDS links, see Configuring WDS Links on page 298.
Note: All access points in a WDS must use the same radio channel for the WDS link
and for communicating with wireless stations. Therefore, using WDS may have a
negative impact on wireless throughput. In this case, it is recommended to use a
traditional wired backbone to connect the access points, instead of WDS links.
