66 Wireless configuration
WDS settings
The router supports WDS (wireless Distribution System). WDS enables one or more access
points to rebroadcast received signals to extend the range and reach of the wireless network,
although this can affect the overall throughput of data.
Note that WDS implementations can vary from product to product. Hence, there is no
guarantee that different products will interoperate. In addition, the security settings for WDS
links are the same as those set up for your wireless clients.
This page includes the following settings:
VAP
The VAP interface number on the router.
WDS Mode
Enables and sets the operating mode for the VAP interface.
•
Disable : Wireless clients can access the VAP interface as a normal access point service.
•
WDS-AP : The VAP interface uses WDS to connect to another AP or router. Wireless
clients can associate to this VAP interface.
•
WDS-STA : The VAP interface uses WDS to connect to another AP or router. Only wired
clients can connect to the router.
Parent SSID
The SSID of the WDS network. The VAP interface associates with other APs using this SSID.
Parent MAC
For WDS-STA mode, optionally enter a specific MAC address of a parent AP with which the
VAP interface should associate.
Authentication Mode and Encryption Type
For information on setting wireless security for WDS links, see “Authentication Mode and
Encryption Type” on page 56 .
