7.5 WDS Settings
Wireless Distribution System uses wireless media to communicate with other APs,
like the Ethernet does. To do this, you must set these APs in the same channel and
set MAC address of other APs which you want to communicate with in the table and
then enable the WDS.
The Wireless Distribution System (WDS) allows you to extend the range of your
wireless network by introducing one or more WDS-enabled devices into your wireless
network. You can only establish WDS links with WDS-enabled devices.
