Station:
This is a client mode that can be connected to the Access Point mode. It is used to
bridge the wireless connection to an Access Point. It forwards all the traffic to/from the
network devices to the Ethernet interface. This mode translates all the packets that
pass through device to its own MAC address, thus resulting in a lack of transparency.
Station WDS
WDS is the acronym of Wireless Distribution System. It can be connected to the
Access Point WDS mode. It enables packet forwarding at layer 2 level. Unlike
Station mode, it is fully transparent at layer 2 level.
**Note:- for Station WDS, Access Point WDS, Repeater WDS:
WDS protocol used is not defined as the standard, thus compatibility
issues between equipment from different vendors might arise.
Repeater WDS
This mode consists of a Station WDS and an Access Point WDS mode. The Repeater
WDS must first link up with an Access Point WDS, and then it can link up with a Station
WDS. It acts as an extension to the link and can add more Repeater WDS as necessary.
*Note:- for Repeater WDS:
ESSID must be the same for the Remote AP and the Local AP. The channels
used Repeater to link to another Repeater will follow the Access Point WDS connection
selected channel.
