Note
In WDS operation, the following restrictions apply to all access points involved:
• All access points that will communicate with each other must use the same channel, the
same transmission procedure and the same data rate.
• You can select either WEP or WPA(2)-PSK as the encryption method.
You configure the security settings in the assigned VAP interface: "Security > WLAN >
Basic"
You cannot use authentication with a RADIUS server for a WDS connection.
• In the IEEE 802.11h transmission mode, it is not practical to select the WDS mode. In
WDS mode, all access points must use the same channel. If a signal from a primary user
is detected by an access point, the channel is changed automatically and the existing
connection is then terminated.
