Troubleshooting WDS

Most problems with setting up WDS are caused by incorrectly entering the MAC addresses into each AirStation’s Web-Based Configuration Utility. If you’re having problems, check the MAC address settings in both AirStations’s Web-Based Configuration Utilities. Each Airstation should be configured to be in a bridge with the other’s wireless MAC address.

Confirm that all bridges are set to the same wireless channel.

Check the Packet Log (Advanced/Diagnostic/Packet Info) in each AirStation’s Web- Based Configuration Utility to confirm communication between them (screenshot to right). The “WDS” entries should show packets both

sent and received. In this example, the packet log shows packets sent but not received, so the next troubleshooting step would be to check the other AirStation’s settings and packet log for more clues.

If you cannot access the AirStations wirelessly, reconnect the Ethernet cables as shown on page 67 to easily access the AirStations’s Web-Based Configuration Utilities.
