Wireless Bridge
WDS (wireless distributed system) is a wireless access point mode that enables wireless link and
communication with other access points. It’s easy to install, simply define the peer’s MAC address of
the connected AP. WDS takes advantage of cost saving and flexibility with no extra wireless client
device required to bridge between two access points and extending an existing wired or wireless
infrastructure network to create a larger network.
Here you can select what role the AP server has, AP or wireless bridge (WDS).
AP Mode:
determines whether the gateway will act as an Access point or as a Bridge.

Access Point
: the gateway communicates with both clients and bridges.

Wireless Bridge
: the gateway communicates with other WDS devices only. In this mode, the
gateway doesn’t communicate with client devices.
If your wireless network includes repeaters that use WDS, the gateway in wireless bridge mode will
also communicate with your repeaters. The gateway in wireless bridge mode will not communicate
with a repeater that uses a proprietary (non-WDS) mode.
Bridge Restrict:
When
AP Mode
is set to
Wireless Bridge
, this determines whether the gateway
will communicate with all other bridges or only specific ones:

Enable:
to enable wireless bridge restriction. Only those specified in the Remote MAC
Address the gateway can communicate with.
Remote Bridge MAC Address:
enter the remote bridge MAC addresses. Here up to 4 bridge
MAC addresses are supported.

Enabled (Scan):
to enable wireless bridge restriction. Only those scanned by the gateway
can communicate.
