Configuring the Wireless Distribution System
This examples shows how to configure a WDS link between two APs. The local AP is MyAP1 and has a MAC
address of 00:1B:E9:16:32:40, and the remote AP is MyAP2 with a MAC address of 00:30:AB:00:00:B0.
The WDS link has the following settings, which must be configured on both APs:
• Encryption: WPA (PSK)
• SSID: wds‐link
• Key: abcdefghijk
WDS Configuration from the Web Interface
To create a WDS link between a pair of access points "MyAP1" and "MyAP2" use the following steps:
1. Log onto MyAP1 and navigate to the Manage > WDS page.
The MAC address for MyAP1 (the access point you are currently viewing) is automatically provided in the
Local Address field.
2. Enter the MAC address for MyAP2 in the Remote Address field, or click the arrow next to the field and select
the MAC address of MyAP2 from the pop‐up list.
3. Select WPA (PSK) from the Encryption menu.
Note: The WPA (PSK) option is available only if VAP 0 on Radio 1 uses WPA (PSK) as the security
method. If VAP 0 is not set to WPA Personal or WPA Enterprise, you must choose either None
(Plain‐text) or WEP for WDS link encryption.
