Configuring the 802.11g 54Mbps Router

WDS (Wireless Distribution System)
The WDS provides a means to extend the range of a Wireless Local
Area Network (WLAN). WDS allows an access point to establish a
direct link to other access points, and stations to roam freely within
the area covered by the WDS. (Default: Disable)
Notes: 1. Be sure that all access points with the same WDS links
should use the same operation “Mode” (802.11b or
802.11g) and radio “Channel” number.
2. Choosing “Auto” of the communication channel is not
suggested for using WDS. (See “Channel and SSID” on
page 29.)
