WDS mode
With WDS (Wireless Distribution System) mode, user can use wireless media to communicate two or
more LANs through the AP with WDS mode, all of the LAN will be combined in the WDS group, for
example:
Single WDS group application:
When there are three APs joined to the WDS group, one of the AP in WDS mode will be the Master,
the other two APs will be the Slave, all of the APs in the WDS group must use the same wireless
channel and the same security setting, the Master need to fill all the Slave’s MAC address in the
“Remote AP Mac” list, and the Slave need to fill the Master’s MAC address in the “Remote AP Mac”
list, the maximum of one Master can join eight Slave to be one WDS group.
In this example, LAN-A can communicate with LAN-B and LAN-C, and LAN-B can communicate with
LAN-C through the AP-A. All of LANs will be at the same LAN environment coming through LAN-A.
