WDS Mode
WDS (Wireless Distribution System) includes Wireless Bridge and Wireless AP.
The differences are described as below:
Operating in Wireless AP mode, clients can access the Internet by connecting to
the router via an Ethernet cable or wirelessly. Operating in Wireless Bridge mode,
clients can access the Internet by connecting to the router via an Ethernet cable or
wirelessly joining the router's secondary SSID (wireless network) or guest
network.
WDS: Wireless distribution system (WDS) is a system enabling the wireless
interconnection of access points in an IEEE 802.11 network. It allows a wireless
network to be expanded using multiple access points without the traditional
requirement for a wired backbone to link them. The Tenda wireless router can
function as a base station AP to create a wireless network or as a repeater AP to
repeat and extend the base station AP's wireless network to a farther and wider
range. The following figure shows an application scenario.
