Field Description
WDS
(Wireless
Distribution
System) Allows access points to
communicate with one another
wirelessly in a standardized way.
It can also simplify the network
infrastructure by reducing the
amount of cabling required.
Basically the access points will
act as a client and an access
point at the same time.
WDS is incompatible with WPA.
Both features cannot be used
at the same time. A WDS link is
bi-directional, so the AP must
know the MAC address of the
other AP, and the other AP must
have a WDS link back to the AP.
Dynamically assigned and
rotated encryption key are not
supported in a WDS connection.
This means that WPA and
other dynamic key assignment
technologies may not be used.
Only Static WEP keys may be
used in a WDS connection,
including any STAs that
are associated with a WDS
repeating AP.
Input the MAC address of the
other APs that you want to link
to and click enable.
Supports up to 4 point to
multipoint WDS links, check
Enable WDS and then enable on
the MAC addresses.
