Creating a Wireless Bridge (WDS)

Wireless > Basic
Note: Since wireless bridge (WDS) is a subset of Access Point mode, please make sure
that Access Point mode is selected under Main > Device Mode for all access points. See
page 13 "Set your device to access point mode." This procedure can apply for both WDS
and WDS+AP modes.
To configure a wireless bridge (WDS) between two TEW-750DAP access points:
• Make note of the wireless MAC address of both access points. See page XX for
checking the status page.
Note: Please note that 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands will have two different MAC
addresses. If using the 2.4GHz band wireless MAC address, please use the
2.4GHz wireless MAC address for all other WDS supported devices to bridge and
if using the 5GHz band wireless MAC address, use the 5GHz wireless MAC
address for all other WDS supported devices to bridge.
Example:
AP1 (Access Point 1) 2.4GHz Wireless MAC Address:
AP1 (Access Point 1) 5GHz Wireless MAC Address:
AP2 (Access Point 2) 2.4GHz Wireless MAC Address:
AP2 (Access Point 2) 5GHz Wireless MAC Address:
•
Make sure the IP address on each WDS supported access is point is different
and on the same IP network/subnet. See page XX for changing access point IP
address.
Example:
AP1 (Access Point 1) IP Address Settings:
AP2 (Access Point 2) IP Address Settings:
