4.3.4 Wireless Bridge
This page allows you to configure wireless bridge (also known as Wireless Distribution System) features of the wireless
LAN interface.
Wireless distribution system (WDS) is a system enabling the wireless interconnection of access points in an IEEE 802.11
network. It allows a wireless network to be expanded using multiple access points without the traditional requirement for
a wired backbone to link them.
AP Mode: You can select Wireless Bridge (also known as Wireless Distribution System) to disable access point
functionality. Selecting Access Point enables access point functionality. Wireless bridge functionality will still be
available and wireless stations will be able to associate to the AP.
Bridge Restrict: There are three options available: Enabled, Enabled (Scan) and Disabled. Select Disabled in Bridge
Restrict which disables wireless bridge restriction. Any wireless bridge will be granted access. Selecting Enabled or
Enabled (Scan) enables wireless bridge restriction. Only those bridges selected in Remote Bridges will be granted access.
The Enabled (Scan) enables wireless bridge restriction and automatically scans the remote bridges.
Remote Bridges
MAC Address: Specify the MAC address of the remote bridge. If you select the Enabled (Scan) option in Bridge
Restrict, system automatically scans the remote bridges and you only need to select those bridges and their MAC
addresses will be added to automatically.
Refresh: Click to update the remote bridges. Wait for few seconds to update.
Apply/Save: Click to apply and save the settings.
