WDS (Wireless Distribution System)
Click on the WDS link on the navigation drop-down menu. The Wireless Distribution
System feature configures this device as a repeater and therefore extends the
range/coverage area of the wireless network.
Enable WDS: When WDS is enabled, this access point functions as a wireless
repeater and is able to wirelessly communicate with other APs via WDS links.
A WDS link is bidirectional; so this AP must know the MAC Address (creates the
WDS link) of the other AP, and the other AP must have a WDS link back to this AP.
Make sure the APs are configured with same channel number.
Add WDS AP: Specify one-half of the WDS link. The other AP must also have the
MAC address of this AP to create the WDS link back to this AP.
Click on the Apply Changes to save the changes.
