The IEEE 802.11 standard defines a Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
for bridge connections between access points. The Mini Broadband Router
can use WDS to forward traffic on links between units.
Up to four WDS links can be specified for the Mini Broadband Router.
The WDS feature enables two basic functions to be configured in the
wireless network. Either a repeater function that extends the range of the
wireless network, or a bridge function that connects a remote LAN segment
to an Internet connection.
