WAP43DC FAT Web Manual Chapter 4 Advance Configuration
4.5 WDS mode
The Wireless Distribution System (WDS) allows you to connect multiple APs. With WDS,
APs communicate with one another without any wires connecting them. WDS can extend
the reach of your network into areas where cabling might be too difficult. This allows the
network to extend over an area too large for one access point to cover. It can also simplify
the network infrastructure by reducing the amount of cabling required.
To enable WDS mode, select it from Advanced Configuration > Wireless Settings, in section
4.2 of this manual.
The 2 options are Root or satellite mode for the WDS function.
Root AP-The main access point which will initiate the connection.
Satellite AP-The connecting access point in this mode can bridge wireless traffic with Root
AP.
Note: We cannot configure wireless mode and channel in the Satellite AP mode.
