Wireless bridging using WDS (Wireless Distribution System)
Configuration > Basic Setting > Wireless > WDS Setting
Wireless bridging using WDS allows the device to create a wireless bridge with other
WDS supported wireless routers and access points configured in WDS mode to bridge
groups of network devices together wirelessly. Simultaneously, the router will also
function in access point mode allowing wireless client devices such as computers, game
consoles, mobile phones, etc. to connect in order to access network resources from
multiple groups of network devices as well as the Internet.
Note:
You can create up to four WDS bridge connections. WDS (Wireless Distribution
System) is not currently standardized and may not connect to different model wireless
routers or access points, therefore, when using WDS, it is recommended to use the same
model and version for wireless bridging.
By default, your router functions in Access Point mode to allow wireless client devices to
connect and access your network resources and access the Internet.
The diagram below shows your router in Access Point mode and clients connecting to
your router.
Note: Before configuring WDS, please ensure the following first:
1. Make sure different IP addresses are assigned to each WDS supported wireless device
used for bridging. (ex. 192.168.10.1,192.168.10.2, 192.168.10.3) to avoid IP address
conflict. See page 53 for changing the LAN IP address.
2. If you are using more than one WDS supported router, please make sure the LAN
DHCP server is enabled on only one and disabled on all others to avoid IP address
conflict. See page 53 for DHCP server options.
3. Configure the same wireless channel and use the same on all WDS supported wireless
devices. See page 19 for configuring basic wireless settings.
4. Configure the same wireless security and key on all WDS supported devices. See page
14 for configuring wireless security settings.
Important Note: Some WDS supported wireless devices require that the same SSID is
used on all WDS supported wireless devices bridging together. For the TEW-659BRV,
when you are using WPA or WPA2 wireless security only, it is required that the same
SSID is used for all WDS supported wireless devices.
To configure WDS bridging between TEW-659BRV routers:
1. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page”
on page 50 ).
2. Click on
Configuration
at the top of the page, click on
Basic Setting
, and click on
Wireless .
3. Next to
Network ID (SSID) , enter the SSID (or wireless network name) of the first
wireless router. (e.g. TRENDnet659_1)
Note:
If you are already using or planning to use WPA or WPA2 wireless security, this
must be the same SSID as the other TEW-659BRV routers you are bridging. If wireless
security is disabled or using WEP, the SSID can be different on each router.
