3. Under Wireless Distribution System (WDS) enter the MAC address of the access
point you would like the router to WDS to. You will also have to enter the MAC
address of the router into the access point to establish the WDS or bridge connection.
This wireless router supports up to 4 WDS connections.
4. Log into your access point and enter the MAC address of your router. Please see the
access point's user manual for more information on how to configure WDS mode.

Steps to improve wireless connectivity

There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless devices. Follow
these tips to help improve your wireless connectivity:
1. Keep the number of obstructions to a minimum. Each obstruction can reduce the
range of a wireless device. Position the wireless devices in a manner that will
minimize the amount of obstructions between them.
a. For the widest coverage area, install your router near the center of your home,
and near the ceiling, if possible.
b. Avoid placing the router on or near metal objects (such as file cabinets and metal
furniture), reflective surfaces (such as glass or mirrors), and masonry walls.
c. Any obstruction can weaken the wireless signal (even non-metallic objects), so
the fewer obstructions between the router and the wireless device, the better.
d. Place the router in a location away from other electronics, motors, and
fluorescent lighting.
e. Many environmental variables can affect the router's performance, so if your
wireless signal is weak, place the router in several locations and test the signal
strength to determine the ideal position.
2. Building materials can have a large impact on your wireless signal. In an indoor
environment, try to position the wireless devices so that the signal passes through

less dense material such as dry wall. Dense materials like metal, solid wood, glass
or even furniture may block or degrade the signal.
3. Antenna orientation can also have a large impact on your wireless signal. Use the
wireless adapter's site survey tool to determine the best antenna orientation for
your wireless devices.
4. Interference from devices that produce RF (radio frequency) noise can also impact
your signal. Position your wireless devices away from anything that generates RF
noise, such as microwaves, radios and baby monitors.
If possible, upgrade wireless network interfaces (such as wireless cards in computers)
from older wireless standards to 802.11n. If a wirelessly networked device uses an older
standard, the performance of the entire wireless network may be slower. If you are still
experiencing low or no signal consider repositioning the wireless devices or installing
additional access points. .

These settings are advanced options that can be configured to change advanced
wireless broadcast specifications. It is recommended that these settings remain set to
their default values unless you are knowledgeable about the effects of changing these
values. Changing these settings incorrectly can degrade performance.
• Beacon Interval: A beacon is a management frame used in wireless networks that
transmitted periodically to announce the presence and provide information
about the router's wireless network. The interval is the amount time between
each beacon transmission.
