2)  Select  the  iB-WRH150N-2

’s  SSID  from  the  list  and  click  OK  on  the 

appearing  dialogue  box;  iB-WRH150N-2

’s  MAC  address,  SSID  and 

channel settings will be automatically added to the iBl-WRH150N-1 

 

 

3) Click OK to save your settings. 
4)  Configure  wireless  security  settings.  For  this  step,  refer to  section  5.2 
hereof. 
5)  Repeat  steps  1-4  on  iB-WRH150N-2.  After  the  2  routers  have  added 
each  other’s  MAC  address  and  share  the  same  SSID, channel,  security 
settings and security key, the WDS feature can be implemented. 

 

Note: 

 

1. WDS feature can be implemented only between 2 wireless devices that both 

support  the WDS  feature.  Plus,  SSID,  channel,  security  settings  and  security  key 
must be the same on both devices. Using the Open Scan option and selecting link 
partner  from  the  scan  list  automatically  change  the  router’s  existing  SSID  and 
channel  settings  respectively  to  those  of  lin

k partner as well as add link partner’s 

MAC address. So we recommend you to use this Open Scan option for easy WDS 
settings. 

2.  Using  WEP  encryption  improves  WDS  compatibility.  For  this  reason,  we 

recommend you to encrypt your wireless network with WEP when using the WDS 
feature.
