AP MAC address:
Input the MAC address of another (opposing) wireless router you

Example
: This example is to bridge two ER-5840N/ER-5845N routers.
1. If you know the connecting router’s MAC address, please enter it into the AP MAC
address field and click “Ok”.
2. You can also search for the wireless router’s signal by scanning.
a) Click “Open scan” and click the scanned signal and click the ”Ok” button on the dialog
box and the corresponding wireless MAC address will be added to the AP MAC address
field automatically.
b) Click “Ok” after the MAC address is added.
After finishing the above steps, you need to set the other ER-5840N/ER-5845N router in
the same way.
NOTE
:
WDS feature requires both routers support this function and the SSID, channel,
encryption method and password are the same as those of the connecting router.
