Wireless Distribution System means connecting multiple wireless networks to one. It will
use two or more wireless bandwidth Router/AP connecting with each other to expand

Both these two repeater methods can help you to expand the wireless coverage and allow
more terminals to access Internet. But since Repeater WAN
need not stop DHCP Server, all PCs’ IP
Addresses are assigned by the Secondary Router itself. So this method allows more PCs to access
Internet than Repeater Bridge. In Repeater
Bridge mode, the PCs’ permissions to access Internet
are decided by Primary Router which can make users to manage the LAN more easily.
