WDS Mode

The Wireless Distribution System (Repeater) functionality enables this AP to support wireless
traffic to other WDS relay Access Points. In other words it is like bridging between the 2 access
points in order to extend the reach of the wireless network beyond that of a single AP. By enabling
the WDS feature the coverage area of the wireless network is thus extended for authenticated
client devices that can roam from this Access Point to another. WDS can extend the reach of your
network into areas where cabling might be difficult.

Enter the MAC Address of other Access Points in the area that you want to add to the WDS. The
MAC Address of this Access Point should be also be added to other access points in the same
WDS network to enable intra-AP communication.
