WDS-BRIDGE MODE OVERVIEW

WDS (Wireless Distribution System) Bridge mode enables the wireless interconnection of Access Points using
WDS mode, and Network Bridges using WDS mode. A WDS-Bridge connects wirelessly to a WDS-Access Point
and expands the existing network by creating additional wired ports to expand the network with by adding
network switches, computers or servers and more. Devices connected to the WDS-Bridge are on the same
local network as those connected to the Source network.
