Note
In WDS operation, the following restrictions apply to all access points involved:
•
All access points that will communicate with each other must use the same channel, the
same transmission procedure and the same data rate.
•
You can select either WEP or WPA(2)-PSK as the encryption method.
You configure the security settings in the assigned VAP interface: "Security > WLAN >
Basic"
You cannot use authentication with a RADIUS server for a WDS connection.
•
In the IEEE 802.11h transmission mode, it is not practical to select the WDS mode. In
WDS mode, all access points must use the same channel. If a signal from a primary user
is detected by an access point, the channel is changed automatically and the existing
connection is then terminated.
Procedure
1.
Select the required VAP interface from the "Connection over"drop-down list.
2.
Select the entry "WDS ID" from the "Partner ID Type"drop-down list.
3.
In the "WDS ID" input box, enter the WDS ID of the WDS partner. The "MAC Address"
input box is grayed out.
4.
Click the "Set Values" button.

AP 802.11a/b/g Rates
Data transmission speeds with IEEE 802.11a/b/g
Note
The tab is available only in access point mode.
The WBM page can only be configured if "802.11a", "802.11g" or "802.11n" is set for WLAN
mode.
The WBM page shows the available data transmission speeds for the WLAN mode
802.11a/b/g. If necessary, you can change the data transmission speeds. Otherwise, we
recommend that you retain the default setting for data transmission speeds. The access
point will then use only the selected data transmission speeds for communication with the
clients.
