8.1.3 WDS Links
If you operate your device in access point mode (Wireless LAN -> WLANx -> Radio Set-
tings ->
-> Operating Mode =
Access Point
), you can set up and edit the desired
WDS links in the Wireless LAN -> WLANx -> WDS links ->
->/New menu.
Important
Select the channel to be used. The WDS link can only be configured in the 2.4 GHz
band if the channel is NOT

The number of channels you can selected depends on the country setting. Please consult
the data sheet for your device.
WDS links (WDS = Wireless Distribution System) are static links between access points
(AP), which are generally used to connect clients with networks that are not directly ac-
cessible to them e.g. because the distance is too great. The access point sends from one
client to another access point, which then forwards the data to another client.
