3.4 WDS Bridge Mode

In the WDS Bridge Mode, the ENH500 can wirelessly connect different local area networks by configuring each device’s MAC address and security settings. The WDS Bridge Mode can bridge up to four local wired networks together as one logical network. Every computer on this logical network can see each other, sharing files as if they are in the same location. With 600mW output power and MIMO antenna technology, the connection distance can extend beyond 1000 feet with good performance, assuming the antenna are within line of sight. The WDS bridge network is a MAC-based network that provides transparent bridging.
