Installing the Access Point 530
Sample Network Topologies
Wireless Distribution System (WDS) Repeater
The Access Point 530 can also operate as a WDS bridge "repeater" to extend
the range of links to other access points or wireless stations. The access point
can support up to six WDS repeater links.
Operating as a wireless repeater, the access point may not have an Ethernet
link to a wired LAN. When the access point operates as a wireless repeater
only half the normal throughput is possible. This is because the access point
has to receive and then re-transmit all data on the same radio channel.
