4.6 WDS Setup
The administrator could create WDS Links to expand wireless network. When WDS is enabled,
access point functions as a wireless bridge and is able to communicate with other access points
via WDS links.
A WDS link is bidirectional and both side must support WDS. Access points
know each other by MAC Address. In other words, each access point needs to include MAC
address of its peer. Ensure all access points are configured with the same channel and
own same security type settings.
