Then we need to configure the wireless client interface:
[admin@Wandy] interface wireless> set 0 mode=station ssid=test1 \
\... disabled=no
[admin@Client] interface wireless> print
Flags: X - disabled, R - running
0 R name="wlan2" mtu=1500 mac-address=00:0B:6B:30:79:02 arp=enabled
disable-running-check=no interface-type=Atheros AR5212 mode=station
ssid="test1" frequency=5180 band=5GHz scan-list=default-ism
supported-rates-b=1Mbps,2Mbps,5.5Mbps,11Mbps

wds-default-bridge=none default-authentication=yes

Now we can monitor our connection from the AP:
[admin@AP] interface wireless> monitor 0
status: running-ap
registered-clients: 1
current-ack-timeout: 28
current-distance: 28
[admin@AP] interface wireless>
... and from the client:
[admin@Client] interface wireless> monitor 0
status: connected-to-ess
band: 5GHz
frequency: 5180
tx-rate: 6Mbps
rx-rate: 6Mbps
ssid: test1
bssid: 00:0B:6B:31:01:6A
signal-strength: -66
current-ack-timeout: 28
current-distance: 28

WDS Configuration Example
WDS (Wireless Distribution System) makes it able to connect APs to each other with the same ssid
and share the same network. On one physical wireless interface you can create multiple WDS
interfaces which will connect to other APs.
This is just a simple example how to get a connection between APs using WDS. Afterwards you
can bridge it with the wireless and/or ethernet interface.
Let us consider the following example:
Router Home
• ssid = wds-test
• IP Address = 192.168.0.2
• Network Mask = 255.255.255.0
