Wds - Asus RT-N300 B1 User Manual

4.1.3 WDS

WDS (Wireless Distribution System) allows your ASUS wireless
router to connect to another wireless access point exclusively,
preventing other wireless devices or stations to access your ASUS
wireless router. It can also be considered as a wireless repeater
where your ASUS wireless router communicates with another
access point and other wireless devices.
To set up the wireless bridge:
1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings >
Wireless > WDS tab.
2. In the AP Mode field, select any of these options:
• AP Only: Disable the wireless bridge function.
• WDS Only: Enable the wireless bridge feature but prevents
other wireless devices/stations from connecting to the
router.
• Hybrid: Enable the wireless bridge feature and allows other
wireless devices/stations to connect to the router.
NOTE: In Hybrid mode, wireless devices connected to the ASUS wireless
router will only receive half the connection speed of the access point.
3. In the Connect to APs in list field, click Yes if you want to
connect to an Access Point listed in the Remote AP List.
4. The router is set to auto by default to let the router select the
channel with the least amount of interference automatically.
If you want to modify it, click the link to return to the General
page to modify the channel selection.
NOTE: Channel availability varies per country or region.
5. On the Remote AP List, key in a MAC address to add the MAC
address of other available access points.
NOTE: Any access point added to the list should be on the same control
channel as the ASUS wireless router.
6. Click Apply.
