8.3 WDS Bridge Mode

In WDS Bridge Mode, the EAP350 can wirelessly connect to different LANs by configuring the MAC address and security settings of each EAP350 device. Use this mode when two wired LANs located in a short distance apart and want to communicate with each other. The best solution is to use the EAP350 to wirelessly connect two wired LANs, as shown in the following figure.

WDS Bridge Mode can establish up to four WDS links, creating a star-like network.

Note: WDS Bridge Mode is different than Access Point mode. Access Points linked by WDS mode are using the same frequency channel. By having more access point connected together, it may lower throughput. Please be aware to avoid loop in your wireless connection, otherwise enable Spanning Tree function.
