Q. How to create 2 hop WDS link?
AP1 (WDS-ENDA) -------- (WDS-ENDB) AP2 (WDS-ENDA) -------- (WDS-ENDB) AP3
1st VAP
You need to create two VAPs on AP2 and set both the VAPs in WDS mode.
Q. How to establish multiple WDS downlinks?
Below setup illustrates how to establish two WDS downlinks. Here, the first link is established between VAP 1 of AP1 and
VAP 1 of AP2, second link is established between VAP 2 of AP1 and VAP 1 of AP3.

Q. What are the expected throughput values for WDS?
Tabulated below are the throughput values, considering that the WDS link is established with maximum data rate.
Q. What is the effect on WDS, if the link integrity is enabled and the Link Status is down?
If the link integrity is enabled and the Link Status is down, then AP device disables all the VAPs enabled in AP mode only but
does not interrupt the traffic on ethernet and WDS link.
Q. Does WDS support Auto Channel Selection (ACS)?
No. WDS does not support Auto Channel Selection (ACS). You cannot enable the Auto Channel Selection (ACS), when a
VAP is configured in WDS mode.
Q. Can I configure WDS on a DFS channel?
You can configure WDS on a DFS channel, but it is recommended not to use a DFS channel to establish a WDS link.
