WDS (Wireless Distribution System)

When repeater is enabled, this Wireless Barricade g Router
functions as a wireless repeater and is able to wirelessly
communicate with other access points or wireless gateways via
WDS (Wireless Distribution System) links. You can specify up to
six WDS links, where each link is defined by the MAC addresses
of the other repeater capable access point or wireless gateway.
Note that for each repeater access point or wireless gateway
specified on this page, you must also configure that access point
or wireless gateway to have a WDS link back to the Wireless
Barricade g Router. (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 wireless channel is not

suggested for using WDS. (See “Channel and SSID”
on page 51.
