WDS Restrictions
in the wireless access point, a bridge
will be created to another wireless router or access point and no wireless clients will be able
to connect to the wireless network. This is generally used when you want to connect two
networks that are in different buildings. Each wireless router or access point will have to
have the MAC address of the other device entered in the WDS Restrictions table.
The access point’s WDS connections do not support:
WPA2 (PSK)
or any of the
RADIUS
security methods, nor
TKIP and AES
encryption.
If your access point is set with one of the following security methods and encryption types,
all WDS connections to the access point should use
WPA-PSK (TKIP)
:
●
WPA2 (PSK)
with
TKIP and AES
●
WPA2 (PSK)
with
TKIP
●
WPA (PSK)
with
TKIP and AES
●
WPA (PSK)
with
TKIP
If your access point is set with one of the following security methods and encryption types,
all WDS connections to the access point should use
WPA (PSK)
with
AES
:
●
WPA2 (PSK)
with
AES
●
WPA (PSK)

In both of these cases, the
Pass phrase
(which is also commonly called a
Network key
,
key
, or
Personal shared key
) you entered for the wireless security on your access point will
be also used as the Personal Shared Key (PSK) for WDS connections. However, all wireless
clients connecting to the access point should continue to use the same security method and
