7.6 The WDS Screen
An AP using the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) can function as a wireless network bridge
allowing you to wirelessly connect wired network segments. The
WDS
screen allows you to
configure the AMG1302-T11C to connect to other APs wirelessly when WDS is enabled.
Use this screen to set up your WDS (Wireless Distribution System) links between the AMG1302-
T11C and other wireless APs. You need to know the MAC address of the peer device. Once the
security settings of peer sides match one another, the connection between devices is made.
Note: WDS security is independent of the security settings between the AMG1302-T11C
and any wireless clients.
Note: At the time of writing, WDS is compatible with other ZyXEL APs only. Not all models
support WDS links. Check your other AP’s documentation.
