WDS Access Point

In WDS Access Point Mode, the EKI-6310GN will work as Access Point Mode, but it
supports Wireless Distribution System (WDS) function in this mode. (WDS) allows
you to make a completely wireless infrastructure. There're three types of application
of WDS: WDS AP, WDS Repeater and WDS Client in EKI-6310GN. WDS AP plays
as access point function, and only WDS Repeater and WDS client can connect to
WDS AP.
Note! When you use WDS function, it will not be able to support multiple
SSIDs.
