Additionally, because the access points have to use the same channel,
you have to select the channel manually, instead of using the default auto
channel setting. In the example in Figure 32, the parent and children are
using Radio2 and channel 40 for the WDS bridge. Wireless clients can
access the network using either Radio1 or Radio2.

An access point can be both parent and child at the same time in different
WDS bridges. That is, it can be a parent in one WDS bridge and a child in
another. Figure 33 on page 96 is an example. Access Point A is
functioning as the parent to children 1 and 2 in one WDS bridge, and as
child 5 to Access Point B in another bridge. In contrast, Access Point B is
functioning solely as a parent, in this case to children 3, 4, and 5, which is
Access Point A.
Each WDS bridge has to use a different radio and channel. This is
illustrated in the example where Access Point A, as parent, and children 1
and 2 are using Radio 1 and channel 10 for their WDS bridge. In contrast,
Access Point B and its children are using Radio2 and channel 40.
