Use Case: Setting Up Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
When deployed in a larger home or office, a single wireless access point may not be able to provide
adequate Wi-Fi coverage. Wireless Distribution Systems (WDS) provides a solution for this
problem. WDS combines multiple gateways to act as a single larger wireless access point allowing
Wi-Fi clients to seamlessly roam all access points plus provides wired access to the entire network.
Two or more SmartRG gateways can be configured for WDS operation. The example below depicts
a WDS deployment with three SmartRG gateways in a large home or office
one primary gateway
in the center of the building and one remote gateway at either end of the building.
Figure 23 Wireless Distribution System
Configuring the SmartRG gateways for WDS operation requires the setting of WAN, LAN and
WIRELESS parameters on all gateways included in the WDS system.

To configure the WAN connections
3.
On the primary SmartRG gateway: configure the routed WAN connection following the
instructions in the “
Use Case: Creating WAN Connections for Internet Access and Remote
Management
” se
ction.
4.
On the remote SmartRG gateway(s): no WAN configuration is required as the WAN connection
is unused.
To configure the LAN interfaces
5.
On the primary SmartRG gateway:
a)
configure the LAN interface following the instructions in the “
Use Case: Setting Up the LAN
section.
b)
ensure the DHCP Server is ENABLED and set the End IP Address such that enough LAN IP
addresses are left for static allocation to the remote gateway(s) included in the WDS
system.
6.
On the remote SmartRG gateway(s):
a)
configure the LAN interface following the instructions in the “
Use Case: Setting Up the LAN
section.
b)
ensure the LAN IPaddress(es) are assigned from the remaining IP addresses not included in
the DHCP server pool on the primary SmartRG gateway.
IMPORTANT
At this point your web browser session will terminate as the LAN IP address has
changed from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.x. Reconnect your web browser to the
remote SmartRG referencing the new LAN IP address.
To configure the WIRELESS interfaces
8.
On the primary SmartRG gateway: configure the WIRELESS interface following the instructions
in the “
Use Case: Setting Up Wireless
” section. Do NOT select “Auto” for the Channel value.
9.
On the remote SmartRG gateway(s): configure the WIRELESS interface following the
instructions in the “
Use Case: Setting Up Wireless
” section.
Select the same SSID, Security
settings and Channel configured on the primary gateway.
10.
On the primary
and
remote SmartRG gateways:
1.
select Wireless -> Wireless Bridge and s
et “AP Mode” to Access Point
2.
set “Bridge Restrict” to Enabled(SCAN)
3.
click Apply/Save and wait for the page to refresh
4.
select the partner gateway (which has the same SSID as the primary gateway) by checking
the box next to the SSID.
5.
Click Apply/Save
IMPORTANT
When more than two gateways are configured for WDS operation, the remote
gateways MUST NOT be partnered together to avoid creating an Ethernet loop.

Use Case: Creating IPTV Service Configurations
The SR350N, SR350NE, SR500N and SR500NE SmartRG gateways are designed to meet the
demands of IPTV service deployments.
Typically IPTV services have been deployed using bridged architectures with public IP addresses
assigned to the IPTV Set-top-boxe
s (STBs) connected to the gateway’s LAN ports.
A typical bridged
IPTV service configuration is shown below.
Figure 24 Bridged IPTV Configuration
Recently service providers have begun deploying routed IPTV services with STBs being assigned
private LAN IP addresses by the gateway. A typical routed IPTV service configuration is shown
below.
