Wireless Bridging Using WDS

Advanced > Wireless (2.4GHz or 5GHz) > WDS
Wireless bridging using WDS allows the device to create a wireless bridge with other WDS
supported wireless routers and access points configured in WDS mode to bridge groups of
network devices together wirelessly. Simultaneously, the router will also function in access
point mode allowing wireless client devices such as computers, game consoles, mobile
phones, etc. to connect in order to access network resources from multiple groups of
network devices as well as the Internet.
You can create up to four WDS bridge connections on each wireless band (2.4GHz
ÍNote:
and 5GHz). WDS (Wireless Distribution System) is not currently standardized and may
not connect to different model wireless routers or access points, therefore, when using
WDS, it is recommended to use the same model and version for wireless bridging.
By default, your router functions in Access Point mode to allow wireless client devices to
connect and access your network resources and access the Internet.

ÍNote: Before configuring WDS, please ensure the following first:
ͳ Make sure different IP addresses are assigned to each WDS supported device used
for bridging to avoid IP address conflict. For example, 192.168.10.1; 192.168.10.2;
192.168.10.3. Refer to "Change the IP Address" on page 25
IP address.
ͳ If you are using more than one WDS supported router, ensure the LAN DHCP server
is enabled on only one router and disabled on all the others to avoid IP address
conflict. Refer to "Configure the DHCP Server" on page 26
ͳ Configure the same wireless channel and use the same on all WDS supported
wireless devices. Refer to "Wireless Settings" on page 10
wireless settings.
ͳ Configure the same wireless security and key on all WDS supported devices. Refer to
"Wireless Settings" on page 11
