You set the ESSID of the remote location(s) using either a
unique name or by using the same ESSID as you use for
your main base station. (Whoa, our heads just exploded!)
Using the same ESSID (a “roaming” network) is pretty cool.
You associate with one AP one time and then your PC or
Mac can associate with any AP on your WDS network
without you having to do anything — it’s more seamless this
way. But remember, you don’t have to do this — you can
give each AP a unique ESSID and just configure your
computer to associate with them according to your
preference.

Make sure you turn off any routing or DHCP functionality in
the remote repeater stations. All of this functionality should
be performed in the main base station or the network’s
main router.
