8.5.4 WDS Function
Wireless distribution system (WDS) enables interconnection between APs in an IEEE
802.11 wireless network. It extends the wireless network through several APs, without
connection of the wired backbone network. If you want to use WDS to achieve wireless
repeating or bridging, enable WDS.
Choose Wireless Settings > WDS Function and the WDS Function page is displayed.
Enable WDS Function: Enable the WDS function if you want to use this function.
Note that the WDS function cannot be enabled if the channel is set to Auto.
Enable Wireless Clients Association: If not selected, the wireless basic station
does not transmit any signals to clients that are directly connected to it.
Central Base Station: In this mode, the router serves as a basic station to
communicate with repeaters. The basic station forwards the data of
communication between repeaters to the destination repeaters. Repeaters should
be configured accordingly. Note that a wireless basic station can be configured
with up to four repeaters.
Repeater MAC Address 1/2/3/4: Enter the MAC address of the repeater.
After finishing settings, click Apply to save the settings.
