Notes on WDS:
1.
All wireless access points in the wireless bridge need to support WDS.
At time of
publication, only Buffalo G54 and Apple Airport Extreme access points support WDS.
2.
No single access point can communicate with more then six other access points in the
wireless bridge.
3.
Start the wireless bridge system with only two access points and then add more, one
at a time.
4.
Set up all access points in the wireless bridge in close proximity before deploying them
to their
fi
nal location.
5.
Only one access point in the wireless bridge should be serving DHCP and routing
services unless a routed wired network exists.

usually stated in Megabits per second
(Mbps).
Bridge:
A device which forwards traf
fi
c
between network segments with a common

Destination Address:
The address portion
of a packet that identi
fi
es the intended
recipient station.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Con
fi
guration
Protocol):
Based on BOOTP, it uses a pool
of IP addresses, which it assigns to each
device connected to it, and retrieves the
address when the device becomes dormant
for a period of time.
DNS (Domain Name System):
System
used to map readable machine names into
IP addresses.
Driver:
Software that interfaces a
computer with a speci
fi
c hardware device.
Dynamic IP Address:
An IP address that
is automatically assigned to a client station
in a TCP/IP network, typically by a DHCP

Ethernet:
The most widely used
architecture for Local Area Networks
(LANs). It is a shared-media network
architecture. The IEEE 802.3 standard
details its functionality.
Ethernet cable:
A wire similar to telephone
cable that carries signals between Ethernet
devices.
It is designed to connect a single
device’s NIC to a router, switch, or hub.
