Asus user manual Asus 802.11g WL-HDD2.5

The bridge or WDS (Wireless Distribution System) enables you to connect to one or many APs through a wireless connection. Choose an AP mode and configure the WDS settings as follows:

AP Mode: AP Mode configures the ASUS WL-HDD2.5 for a spe- cific purpose. By default, the device is set to serve as an Access Point (AP only) where a wireless mobile client can connect wirelessly to a wired Ethernet network. Choose WDS only for communicating with other APs. Hybrid allows you to use the device both as an AP as well as a wireless bridge.

Channel: All the Access Points in a Wireless Bridge mode must be set to the same channel. The channel is set to 1 for WDS and Hybrid AP modes.

Connect to APs in Remote Bridge List (Yes/No): Select Yes to con- nect to access points in the remote bridge list.

Allow anonymous? (Yes/No): Select Yes to allow users without accounts to connect to the AP.

Note: If Connect to APs in Remote Bridge List and Allow Anonymous are both set to No, it means that this AP will not connect with other APs and therefore the AP mode setting is set automatically to AP Only.

Remote Bridge List: Use the remote bridge list to set up the MAC addresses of the devices in the wireless bridge. Enter the MAC address of the target APs in order to designate partners for your device. Click Add to add the address or click Del to delete a selected address.
