WDS
Wireless Distribution System uses wireless media to communicate with other APs, like the Ethernet does. To do this,
you must set these APs in the same channel and set MAC address of other APs which you want to communicate with
in the table and then enable the WDS.
To use WDS function:
1. The APs must support WDS function.
2. To set the same SSID (Network name).
3. The channel must be set to the same on the APs.
4. To set the same Wireless MAC address (BSSID) on the APs.
5. To set same security (WEP or WPA) on the APs.
Note: To setup WDS must use the same wireless products (the same model will be better); due to
different wireless products might support different WDS settings. Thus, it is suggested that to use
the same wireless products that support WDS function.
Step 1. Users would like to set up the WDS function, please go to Wireless > Basic page to set up the mode into
WDS or AP+ WDS (Repeater) mode, and set the APs into the same Network Name (SSID) and Channel (If
set to WDS mode, the SSID do not need to change). After setting up, please click Apply Changes button to
execute.
