Wds - NetComm 4G100W User Manual

WDS

The 4G100W supports the configuration of a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). WDS allows you to expand your wireless network
with multiple access points. There are two WDS modes available: Bridged Mode and Repeater Mode.
In Bridged mode, the WDS access points communicate with each other but do not communicate with wireless clients. Bridged
mode is best used in situations where the client machines connect via Ethernet cable. In Repeater mode, the WDS access points
communicate with each other and with wireless clients.
