Wireless Distribution System(WDS) Master & Slave
WDS is a system that enables the wireless interconnection of access points in network. It allows a wireless network to
be expanded using multiple access points without need for a wired backbone to link them. It is possible to extend
wireless coverage area by using more than two VW300 (Maximum
4). WDS can be either a WDS master or remote WDS slave. WDS
Master relays data between remote WDS slave, wireless clients or
other relay station to either a main or other relay WDS slave. WDS
Master & Slave must be configured as same SSID, Channel and
security.
** Note : When you setup WDS function, please disable wireless security
options of every AP’s. WDS function of VW300 series is applicable with
other APs which use Ralink chipset but function can be restricted for
other wireless chipset.
