3.1.3.1 WDS
The Wireless Distribution System (WDS) provides wireless point-to-point, and
point-to-multipoint bridging for deployment over large area. With the WDS feature, the
Wireless LAN coverage can be easily extended.
Note: WDS-enabled routers or APs from different manufacturers are not guaranteed to
work with AR686W. It is recommended to deploy WDS with solely Airlink101
When WDS is enabled, it only supports None and WEP encryption.
Before you set up WDS bridging:
1) Make sure your wireless computer can associate with individual router/AP.
2) Configure the same channel for every router/AP.
