6.4.3 WDS Application
The following figure shows a wireless network for Humans Resource Department (marked
as A in the figure), Finance Department (marked as B), and Marketing Department
(marked as C) in an enterprise. If the three departments share one wireless router, signals
searched by computers may be rather weak or even no signals are available. However, if
each of the three departments uses a wireless router, we can use WDS to connect the
three routers to provide perfect wireless coverage for the whole areas.
Configure the three routers in this way:
Wireless router B functions as the wireless basic station; wireless routers A and C connect
to wireless router B by using WDS.
