1.4.3 Bridge Mode
This mode is also known as “WDS Pure MAC Bridge mode”. When configured to operate
in the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) Mode, the AP60 provides bridging functions with
remote LAN networks in the WDS system. The system will support up to total of 8 bridges
in a WDS network (by daisy chain). However, each bridge can only associate with
maximum of 4 other bridges in the WDS configuration. This mode is best used when you
want to connect LAN networks together wirelessly (for example, between office and
warehouse). If you have more than 2 AP in WDS Bridges mode, please remember to turn
on the “802.1d Spanning Tree” or “STP” option on to avoid network loop. This mode
usually delivers faster performance than infrastructure mode.
