6.3 Coverage Range Extender Setup

Extending from the above scenario, if the distance needs to be further extended, it is always

possible to add more AW5500 (in WDS Hybrid mode) in between the existing one. The WDS

MAC address of the newly added AW5500 (in WDS Hybrid mode) should be MAC address

of the AW5500 that it is directly connecting to, not the MAC address of the AW5500 in WDS

Root mode. Note that AW5500 in WDS Station mode does not allow both wireless client and

AW5500 (in WDS Hybrid mode) to connect in. Normally it should be the last AW5500 in the

wireless topology if utilized.

Figure 6.3

For more information on how to configure your AW5500 for this topology, please refer to WDS

Bridge Mode.

Note: wireless coverage is dependent on the environment.
