Before reading this chapter, please read section 4.3 first on WDS settings.    In this chapter, 
you will learn to how to build a WDS Bridge network by following our step by step example.   
In addition, we will talk about the general concepts and knowledge about building a long 
distance connection. 
 
This chapter is divided into 3 sections 

‰

 

8.1

: 

Preparation for Building Outdoor Bridge Networks

: This section provides 

basic knowledge about building long distance outdoor bridge connection. 

‰

 

8.2: WDS Bridge vs. Bridge Infrastructur

e:    Here we will discuss the 

differences between the 2 bridge mode. 

‰

 

8.3

: 

WDS Bridge Network Example

:    A step-by-step guide to building a multiple 

link Bridge network. 

 

8.1 Preparation for Building Outdoor Bridge Networks 

 

1.  Write down the WLAN MAC address in advance 

Please remember to write down the WLAN MAC addresses of the AP for installation.   
The WDS bridge require to enter remote Bridge’s MAC address for WDS 
authentication. 

 
 

2.  Always do a Google Earth search on the intended installation before departing 

Please get information on location, elevation, and distance between the points of your 
installation site 

 
 

3.  Bring a pair of high powered binoculars for site survey 

You might often find that the installation points are difficult to find over long distance.   
A pair of hi powered binocular will help finding the objects.    Look for landmarks that 
are easy to identify. 
 
 

4.  Bring Long Distance Walkie-Talkie System 

There are hi-powered offering that can work over distance of 5km or more.   
Communication is absolutely necessary on both sides during installation. 

 
 
5.  You need a clear Line of sight
