Typical WDS network

WB1

WB5
In a typical WDS network, the
ASUS Pocket Wireless AP serves
as a central link to all connected
APs (functioning as wireless
bridge). The APs communicate with
each other using the central AP,
while maintaining network
connections to their respective
wireless clients.
In this setup, WB4 and WB5 may
communicate using point-to-point
connection but WB5 may not
communicate with the ASUS Pocket
Wireless AP, WB1, WB2, and WB3
since multipoint-to-point connection
is not supported.
