will not send beacon out and deal with probe request packets, so that wireless client will not be
possible to connect with this device. The device can use complete bandwidth of WDS connection.

mode), OFDM(11g mode), HTMIX (11b/g/n mode) and GREENFIELD (11n mode).
● AP MAC Address: These elds display in WDS Bridge and Repeater Mode. Enter the
associated AP’s MAC Address(es) in these elds. Four MAC Adresses are allowed to be entered
at one time. it is important that your peer’s AP must include your MAC address and all of the AP's
channel must be the same in WDS to acknowledge and communicate with each other.
Note: Please note that the AP MAC address can not duplicate the AP Client.
Repeater Mode
● Repeater Mode: Select Repeater Mode from the WDS Mode drop-down menu. In this case,
The packets can be forwarded to other AP via WDS connections. Here, AP functions similarly as
that in Lazy Mode except that it needs to input other AP MAC address(es). Four MAC Adresses
are allowed to be entered at one time. The Repeater Mode can establish the connection with other
AP(s), and the wireless client(s) can connect the device too.
