Link Distance
The typical distance between the wireless clients and AP is less than 1 kilometer
(km). If your wireless network covers a bigger area, you may need to adjust this
parameter. Increasing link distance automatically increases the packet acknowledge
timeout period. This will impact the overall wireless network performance. The
default setting is 0 (less than 1 km).

A Bridge Link can greatly ease the difficulties involved in physically wiring LANs from
different locations by connecting them wirelessly.
Select Wireless->Bridge Link to list the available Bridge Links in the system. Click the
existing Bridge Link name to enter the editing screen or click the Add button to create a
new one.
After a Bridge Link is created, add it to either one of the Radios in order for it to take
effect.
For performance reasons, it is recommended that the Bridge Link to be added
onto Radio 1. Radio 1 usually has less traffic and less interference.
All Bridge Links must be configured to use the same radio channel. Auto
channeling is not allowed.
On the Radio where the Bridge Link is being added, the security policy of the
primary (the first) WLAN must be WPA2/AES.
Make sure the signal quality of the Bridge Link is adequate because it greatly impacts the
performance. Once a link is established, its signal quality and other statistics can be
viewed by selecting Monitor->Wireless Link. Follow the steps below to improve the
signal strength of the WDS link:
