4-3-2-4. WDS

Wireless Distribution System (WDS) can bridge/repeat access points together in

an extended network. WDS settings can be configured as shown below.

When using WDS, configure the IP address of each access point to be in the same

subnet and ensure there is only one active DHCP server among connected access

points, preferably on the WAN side.

WDS must be configured on each access point, using correct MAC addresses. All access points should use

the same wireless channel and encryption method.

5GHz WDS Mode
