WDS (Wireless Distribution System)

When repeater is enabled, this Wireless Barricade g Router functions as a wireless repeater and is able to wirelessly communicate with other access points or wireless gateways via WDS (Wireless Distribution System) links. You can specify up to six WDS links, where each link is defined by the MAC addresses of the other repeater capable access point or wireless gateway. Note that for each repeater access point or wireless gateway specified on this page, you must also configure that access point or wireless gateway to have a WDS link back to the Wireless Barricade g Router. (Default: Disable)

Notes: 1. Be sure that all access points with the same WDS links should use the same operation “Mode” (802.11b or 802.11g) and radio “Channel” number.

2.Choosing “Auto” of the wireless channel is not suggested for using WDS. (See “Channel and SSID” on page 51.)
