4.11.6 WDS

WDS means Wireless Distribution System. It is a protocol for connecting two access points

(AP) wirelessly. Usually, it can be used for the following application:

y

Provide bridge traffic between two LANs through the air.

y

Extend the coverage range of a WLAN.

To meet the above requirement, two WDS modes are implemented in Vigor router. One is

Bridge

, the other is

Repeater

. Below shows the function of WDS-bridge interface:

The application for the WDS-Repeater mode is depicted as below:

The major difference between these two modes is that: while in

Repeater

mode, the packets

received from one peer AP can be repeated to another peer AP through WDS links. Yet in

Bridge

mode, packets received from a WDS link will only be forwarded to local wired or

wireless hosts. In other words, only Repeater mode can do WDS-to-WDS packet forwarding.

In the following examples, hosts connected to Bridge 1 or 3 can communicate with hosts

connected to Bridge 2 through WDS links. However, hosts connected to Bridge 1 CANNOT

communicate with hosts connected to Bridge 3 through Bridge 2.

Click

WDS

from

Wireless LAN

menu. The following page will be shown.
