WDS Hybrid Mode
WDS Hybrid mode includes both WDS and AP Router mode. WDS Hybrid mode can act as an access point for its Wi-Fi
Intranet and a Wi-Fi bridge for its wired and Wi-Fi Intranets at the same time. This mode allows you to build up a large
wireless network in a large space like airports, hotels or school campus.
The diagram above illustrates Gateway 1, Gateway 2 and AP 1 connected by WDS. Each gateway has access point
functionality for Wi-Fi client access. Gateway 1 has a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to each of the client hosts. All
gateways and AP are running in WDS hybrid mode. To setup WDS hybrid mode, you must fill all configuration items similar to
that of AP-router and WDS modes.
