WDS Settings

Enter the MAC address of another AP you wirelessly want to connect to into the appropriate field and

click

“

Apply

” to save settings.

WDS Settings is available only under Bridge and AP Repeater Mode.

Bridge uses the WDS protocol that is not defined as the standard thus compatibility

issues between equipment from different vendors may arise. Moreover, Tree or

Star shape network topology should be used in all WDS use-cases (i.e. if AP2 and

AP3 are specified as the WDS peers of AP1, AP2 should not be specified as the

WDS peer of AP3 and AP3 should not be specified as the WDS peer of AP2 in any

case). Mesh and Ring network topologies are not supported by WDS and should be

avoided in all the use cases.
