    4.4 WDS Bridge Mode Note: WDS Bridge Mode does not act as an Access Point. Access Points linked by WDS are using the same frequency channel. More Access Points connected together may lower throughput. This configuration can be susceptible to generate endless network loops in your network, so it is recommended to enable the Spanning Tree setting (see 6.3 Spanning Tree Setting, below) to prevent this from happening.
