 Enable Scan: Click it to scan SSIDs.
Application Scenario:
There’s already an AP (Hereinafter referred as the remote AP) installed on the second floor of a hotel. Due to
limited WiFi coverage or other objects’ intereference, some rooms of the hotel on the second floor may be
unable to enjoy WiFi smoothly. Then you can install one more AP or multiple APs (≤ 4) in those rooms where
WiFi signal is not strong enough for WiFi extension. In this mode, both this AP and the remote AP need to scan
each other for WDS settings.
Before configuring WDS settings, verify the following information of the remote SSID: SSID (WiFi name),
channel and encryption information.
Assuming information of the remote device (AP 2) is as below:
SSID: IP-COM_130518
Channel: 6
IP Address: 192.168.0.254
Security Mode: Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK
Cipher Type: AES
Security Key: 12345678
Note:
1. In the WDS mode, both the AP and the remote device should support WDS feature.
2. As for IP addresses, they should not be the same but on the same network segment.
3. This AP’s and the remote device’s SSID, channel, security mode and security key should be kept the same.
4. Up to 4 APs can be bridged at the same time.
