Wds Settings - Zonet ZSR4174WE User Manual

6.3.5 WDS Settings

WDS (Wireless Distribution System) is used to expand wireless coverage area.
ZSR4174WE provides three modes: Lazy, Bridge and Repeater.
WDS Mode:
Lazy Mode: You need to configure ZSR4174WE's BSSID into another device,
but don't need to input another device's BSSID in ZSR4174WE, and they will
connect together automatically.
Bridge Mode: You can wirelessly connect two or more wired networks via this
mode. In this mode, you need to add the Wireless MAC address of the connecting
device into ZSR4174WE's AP MAC address table or select one from the scanning
table. At the same time, the connecting device should be in Lazy, Repeater or
Bridge mode.
Repeater Mode: You can select the mode to extend the distance between the
two WLAN devices. Functioning as a WDS repeater, ZSR4174WE connects to
both a client card as an AP and to another AP. In typical repeater applications,
APs connecting to other APs equipped with WDS functionality must also support
WDS. In this mode, you need to add the MAC address of the connecting device
into ZSR4174WE's AP MAC address table and the connecting client should be in
Lazy, Repeater or client mode.
Encrypt Type: Select from WEP, TKIP or AES for security here.
Pass phrase: Enter the key, the key format according to encryption you selected.
AP MAC: Input the MAC address of another wireless router. Maximum four (4)
ZSR4174WE is allowed to connect in WDS mode.
NOTE: Two wireless routers must use the same bandwidth, channel number, and
security setting. Apply the settings and reboot ZSR4174WE to activate it.
