Using the Configuration Menu

In WDS with AP mode, the 

DWL-7700AP

 wirelessly connects multiple networks, while 

still functioning as a wireless AP.  WDS (Wireless Distribution System) allows access 
points to communicate with one another wirelessly in a standardized way. It can also 
simplify the network infrastructure by reducing the amount of cabling required. Basically 
the access points will act as a client and an access point at the same time.

Select either IEEE 802.11a or IEEE 802.11g 

WDS with AP

 is selected from the pull-down menu.

Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the name designated for a specific 
wireless  local  area  network  (WLAN). The  SSID’s  factory  default 
setting is 

default

. The SSID can be easily changed to connect to an 

existing wireless network or to establish a new wireless network.
