Expanding WLAN Coverage
To expand WLAN coverage, use the wireless distribution system (WDS) to set up a wireless

For example, if your house is too large to be fully covered by the WLAN provided by one HG532d
device, add another HG532d device and set up a wireless connection between these two devices
using the WDS. The WLAN coverage is then expanded.
