WDS with AP

In WDS with AP mode, the DWL-7100AP wirelessly connects multiple networks, while still functioning as a wireless AP.

WDS (Wireless

Distribution System) allows access points to communicate with one another wirelessly in a standardized way. It can also simplify the

network infrastructure by reducing the amount of cabling required. Basically the access points will act as a client and an access point at

the same time.

Select

IEEE802.11a

or

IEEE802.11g

.

WDS with AP

is selected from the drop-down

menu.

Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the name

designated for a specific wireless local area

network (WLAN). The SSID’s factory default

setting is

dlink

. The SSID can be easily changed

to connect to an existing wireless network or to

establish a new wireless network.

Wireless Band:

Mode:

SSID:

Enable or Disable SSID broadcast. Enabling this

feature broadcasts the SSID across the network.

6

is the default channel for IEEE 802.11g. All

devices on the network must share the same

channel.

Note:

The wireless adapters will automatically scan

and match the wireless setting.

This option is unavailable in WDS with AP

mode.

Enter the MAC addresses of the APs in your

network that will serve as bridges to wirelessly

connect multiple networks.
