WDS (Wireless Distribution System) allows access points to communicate with one
another wirelessly in a standardized way. It can also simplify the network infrastructure by
reducing the amount of cabling required. Basically the access points will act as a client
and an access point at the same time.
WDS is incompatible with WPA. Both features cannot be used at the same time. A WDS
link is bi-directional, so the AP must know the MAC address of the other AP, and the other
AP must have a WDS link back to the AP.
