GN-BR02G 2.4GHz Wireless Broadband Router

The WDS Tab
Wireless Distribution System (WDS) technology enables several access points
to increase the coverage of a wireless network. Although enterprises or home
users can reduce most wiring problems by using access points that support
WDS, they still need cables to connect external ISP.
To use WDS, please make sure:
9
All routers/AP’s participating in the WDS must use the same RF Channel
9
DHCP (if used) must only be enabled on the bridge Router and
not
on
the node AP’s.
Example:
Suppose Router1 is connected to the DSL modem, and uses DHCP
to dish out IP’s to your WLAN. To use Router1 to bridge to a remote AP, key
in AP’s Wireless MAC Address in Router1’s WDS configuration list and select
“enable” then press Submit. In AP’s LAN settings, disable DHCP and assure
the AP uses the same RF Channel as the Router1. You should now be able
to connect to Router1 through AP.
Note that bridging between different vendors wireless gear is not
guaranteed. Your GN-BR02G may only create a WDS environment with
other Gigabyte Routers or GIGABYTE Access Points.
