WDS (Wireless Distribution System) allows access points to communicate with one another
wirelessly in a standardized way. It can also simplify the network infrastructure by reducing the amount
of cabling required. Basically the access points will act as a client and an access point at the same
time.
WDS is incompatible with WPA. Both features cannot be used at the same time. A WDS link is
bi-directional, so the AP must know the MAC address of the other AP, and the other AP must have a
WDS link back to the AP.
Dynamically assigned and rotated encryption key are not supported in a WDS connection. This means
that WPA and other dynamic key assignment technologies may not be used. Only Static WEP keys
may be used in a WDS connection, including any STAs that are associated with a WDS repeating AP.
Enter the MAC address of the other APs that you want to link to and click enable.
Supports up to 4 point to multipoint WDS links, check Enable WDS and then enable on the MAC
addresses.
