3.1.2.1 WDS Repeaters
Wireless Distribution System (WDS) functionality is an industry standard wireless AP mode
(repeater) that enables wireless bridging in which WDS APs communicate with one another
using a WDS link. In typical repeater applications, APs connecting to other APs equipped with
WDS functionality must also support WDS. Typically, repeaters will not function properly with
other APs that are not equipped with WDS.

shows an example of a WDS Repeater
network with
AirLive WL-5430AP
Repeaters in Parent/Child configurations
with other Repeaters.
3.1.2.2 Universal Repeaters
When configured as a Universal Repeater, the
AirLive WL-5430AP
allows connectivity to APs
that are not equipped with WDS.

shows an example of a WDS Repeater network.
