The WDS Screen
An AP using the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) can function as a wireless
network bridge allowing you to wirelessly connect two wired network segments.
The
WDS
screen allows you to configure the ZyXEL Device to connect to two or
more APs wirelessly when WDS is enabled.
Use this screen to set up your WDS (Wireless Distribution System) links between
the ZyXEL Device and other wireless APs. You need to know the MAC address of
the peer device. Once the security settings of peer sides match one another, the
connection between devices is made.
Note: WDS security is independent of the security settings between the ZyXEL
Device and any wireless clients.
Note: At the time of writing, WDS is compatible with other ZyXEL APs only. Not all
models support WDS links. Check your other AP’s documentation.

Wireless LAN Technical Reference
This section discusses wireless LANs in depth. For more information, see the
appendix.
8.8.1
Wireless Network Overview
Wireless networks consist of wireless clients, access points and bridges.
•
A wireless client is a radio connected to a user’s computer.
•
An access point is a radio with a wired connection to a network, which can
connect with numerous wireless clients and let them access the network.
•
A bridge is a radio that relays communications between access points and
wireless clients, extending a network’s range.
Traditionally, a wireless network operates in one of two ways.
•
An “infrastructure” type of network has one or more access points and one or
more wireless clients.
The wireless clients connect to the access points.
•
An “ad-hoc” type of network is one in which there is no access point. Wireless
clients connect to one another in order to exchange information.
The following figure provides an example of a wireless network.
