Configuring a WDS Bridge

Once you can connect to each of your access points, you should configure WEP encryption. Without WEP, anyone within range of

your access points can easily connect to your network. From within the second AirStation’s Web-Based Configuration Utility (192.168.11.100), click on Advanced, then Wireless Config, then Security. Note that you must set up WEP on the bridge (second AirStation) first, before configuring it on the main router (first AirStation), or you will have to reconnect the network cables to finish configuration.

Change wireless encryption from “no encryption” to “WEP”. Note that TKIP and AES encryption schemes will not work with WDS; you must use WEP for encryption. WEP keys may be any of 4 different types; choose one of the following types from the drop- down “WEP Encryption Key” box:

Character Input - 13 characters (ASCII WEP128 104 bit, key should contain 13 alphanumeric characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9)

Character Input - 5 characters (ASCII WEP64 40 bit, key should contain 5 alphanumeric characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9)
