Wireless Bridge

The IEEE 802.11 standard defines a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) for bridge
connections between access points. The wireless AP/Router can use WDS to
forward traffic on links between units.
A single WDS bridge link can be specified for the WLAN1 interface. One end of a
link must be configured as the "WDS Parent" and the other as the "WDS Child."
Note: The network domain of WDS child has to be the same as WDS parent.
