Set Up a WiFi Bridge Between Access Points

You can configure a wireless distribution system (WDS) that consists of point-to-point WiFi bridge connections
between two access points. Each WiFi bridge connection requires a WDS profile for which the settings must
match on the access points that make up the bridge.
If the access point is connected to the Internet over a wired connection, the access point can function as
the WiFi base station for up to four other access points that function as WiFi repeaters. The access point
itself can also function as a WiFi repeater if it is connected to another access point that functions as a WiFi
base station.
A WiFi base station connects to the Internet, wired and WiFi clients can connect to the base station, and
the base station sends its WiFi signal to one or more access points that function as WiFi repeaters. Wired
and WiFi clients can also connect to a WiFi repeater, but the repeater connects to the Internet through the
WiFi base station.
The following figure shows a WiFi repeating scenario with a WiFi base station on the left side and a single
WiFi repeater on the right side.
