Wireless Bridge
WDS (wireless distributed system) is a wireless access point mode that enables wireless link and
communication with other access point. It is easy to be installed, simply define the peer’s MAC
address of the connected AP. WDS takes advantages of cost saving and flexibility which no extra
wireless client device is required to bridge between two access points and extending an existing
wired or wireless infrastructure network to create a larger network.
Here you can select to decide what role the AP servers as, AP or wireless bridge (WDS).
AP Mode:
determines whether the gateway will act as an Access point or as a Bridge.
L
Access Point
: the gateway communicates with both clients and bridges.
L
Wireless Bridge
: the gateway communicates with other WDS devices only. In this mode, the
gateway doesn’t communicate with client devices.
If your wireless network includes repeaters that use WDS, the gateway in wireless bridge mode will
also communicate with your repeaters. The gateway in wireless bridge mode will not communicate
with a repeater that uses a proprietary (non-WDS) mode.
