5.10 Expanding the Coverage of a WLAN
Function Overview
The router supports the WDS function. Through the WDS function, two routers can be
connected wirelessly, thus expanding the coverage of a WLAN.
Table 6-3 lists three WDS working modes, functions in each working mode, and relevant
setting requirements.
Table 5-1
WDS working modes
Working
Mode
Function
Setting Requirements
Bridge
Two WLANs can be connected
wirelessly in this mode but
other wireless clients cannot be
connected to the router.
On each router, add the wireless
MAC address of the peer router to
the WDS MAC list.
Repeater
It
is
used
to
expand
the
coverage of a WLAN. The
router can set up a connection
with another wireless router or
wireless client.
On each router, add the wireless
MAC address of the peer router to
the WDS MAC list.
Lazy
The function in this mode is the
same as that in repeater mode.
No WDS MAC list, however, is
required to be configured on the
router in lazy mode.
No WDS MAC list is required to be
configured on the router in lazy
mode. The MAC address of the
router in lazy mode, however, needs
to be added to the WDS MAC list of
the peer router.
When configuring the WDS function, you should comply with the following principles:
Both wireless routers should support the WDS function.
The WDS function should be enabled on both wireless routers.
On each router, add the wireless MAC address of the peer router to the WDS MAC
list. No WDS MAC list is required to be configured on the router in lazy mode but a
WDS MAC list should be configured on the peer router.
The settings of the following parameters on both wireless routers should be the same:
−
Wireless channel
−
Encryption mode
−
Encryption password

The security modes set on the two wireless routers can be different but the encryption
modes should be the same.
The SSIDs of the two WLANs can be different but it is recommended that the two
WLANs use the same SSID. Thus, wireless terminals can use one SSID to connect to the
WLAN that is expanded.
If the repeater mode is used for expanding the coverage of a WLAN, note that:
−
The IP addresses of the LAN interfaces of the two routers should be in the same
network segment. In addition, the IP addresses should be different.
−
Enable the DHCP server function only on the wireless router that is used to
connect to uplink devices. Disable the DHCP function and enable the DHCP
relay function on other wireless routers.
Configuration Example
For example, you have router A in your spacious house. The signals of router A cannot
cover the area that is far from the router. In this case, you can add another router, that is,
router B. By configuring the WDS function on the two routers, you can expand the
coverage of a WLAN.
The parameters of the routers are planned as follows:
Router A:
Set the IP address of the LAN interface to
192.168.3.166
(default value).
Set the subnet mask of the LAN interface to
255.255.255.0
(default value).
Enable the DHCP server function (default value).
Select
SSID1
for
SSID
(default value).
Set the name of
SSID1
to
mySSID
.
Set the WLAN channel to
1
.
The WLAN encryption settings are as follows:
−
Set the security mode to
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
.
−
Set the encryption mode to
AES
.
−
Set the password used for accessing the WLAN to
MyPassword@2012
.
Enable the WDS function and set the WDS mode to
Repeater
.
Add the wireless MAC address of router B to the WDS MAC list.
Router B:
Set the IP address of the LAN interface to
192.168.3.88
.

Set the subnet mask of the LAN interface to
255.255.255.0
.
Disable the DHCP server function.
Enable the DHCP relay function.
Select
SSID1
for
SSID
(default value).
Set the name of
SSID1
to
my SSID
that is the same as the setting on router A.
Set the WLAN channel to
1
that is the same as the setting on router A.
The WLAN encryption settings are as follows (the same as the settings on router A):
−
Set the security mode to
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
.
−
Set the encryption mode to
AES
.
−
Set the password used for accessing the WLAN to
MyPassword@2012
.
Enable the WDS function and set the WDS mode to
Repeater
.
Add the wireless MAC address of router A to the WDS MAC list.
The configuration procedure is as follows:
The following procedure describes how to change the parameter settings as required. You can
retain the default settings of the parameters that do not need to be changed.
Step 1
Find and record the wireless MAC addresses of router A and router B.
The value of Wireless MAC is a character string that is similar to
00-11-09-11-04-DD
, and can be obtained by using the wireless card client to scan the
corresponding SSID. Suppose the wireless MAC address of router A is
AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AA
and that of router B is
BB:BB:BB:BB:BB:BB
.
Step 2
Set the WLAN parameters of router A.
1.
Log in to the Web-based configuration utility of router A.
2.
In the navigation tree, choose
Basic
>
WLAN
.
The WLAN configuration page is displayed.
3.
Set the following parameters.
−
Channel: 1
−
SSID Index: SSID1
−
SSID: MyNewSSID
−
Security: WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
−
WPA Pre-Shared Key: MyPassword@2012
−
WPA Encryption: AES
