Please take a look at the following two WDS topology examples:
WDS in a Star Configuration:
This is the mode to use if you’re expanding the hotspots in the area around your master AP that is connected to the WAN. What you’ll need to do is enable WDS and ACL on all the APs. Then input each of the MAC addresses of Slave A,B,C into the Master AP under both the WDS and ACL section. For the Slave APs A,B,C you’ll input only the MAC address of the Master AP into the WDS and ACL list to limit them to direct their traffic through the Master AP only.
WDS in Chain Configuration:
