WDS Repeater

In WDS Repeater Mode, the EKI-6310GN will set to build communication with both
wireless networks and other wireless equipment. WDS AP plays as access point
function, and only WDS Repeater and WDS client can connect to WDS AP.
EKI-6310GN that plays as WDS Repeater extends the range of an existing wireless
network. You can use this to extend the coverage of an existing wireless router to
provide better signal for parts of your home or office that may have poor reception.
Additionally, you can use this mode to connect a wired device to a wireless network.
Note! When you use WDS function, it will not be able to support multiple
SSIDs.
