11.3 WDS Bridge Mode

Use this feature to link multiple APs together in a network. All clients associated with any of the APs can communicate with each other similar to an ad-hoc mode. The following configuration shows four ENH500’s running on WDS Bridge Mode, which are connected to a main ENH500 that is providing Internet access, also running on WDS Bridge Mode. This is a bridged network; therefore, all nodes on the network can be in the same network IP block. All computers are viewable as if they are in the same location and on the same Ethernet network.
