Using WDS (Wireless Distribution System) will allow a network administrator or
installer to connect to Access Points wirelessly. Doing so will extend the wired
infrastructure to locations where cabling is not possible or inefficient to implement.
Note : Compatibility between different brands and models of access points is not
guaranteed. It is recommended that the WDS network be created using the same
models for maximum compatibility.
Also note : All Access Points in the WDS network needs to use the same Channel and
Security settings.
To create a WDS network, please enter the MAC addresses of the Access Points that you
want included in the WDS. There can be a maximum of four access points.
Note: Only applicable in WDS AP and WDS Bridge mode.
