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 must
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 modes.
