WDS Bridge Mode is unlike Access Point Mode. APs linked by WDS are

using the same wireless channel, and connecting excessive numbers of APs on the same channel may result in lower throughput. Please be aware to avoid loop connections; otherwise enable the Spanning Tree Function.

3.5 Client Router Mode

In Client Router Mode, the ENH500 provides two functions: 1) acting as a wireless-Ethernet Bridge in order to relay signal from the access point; 2) acting as an active DHCP server that allows WLAN clients to share the same wireless network connection. Ideally, have clients wirelessly connect to an AP/WISP and connect to LANs via Ethernet. Client Router Mode is different from the AP Router Mode. It is not a common application however useful when connects to WISP AP.
