WDS The Router supports WDS (Wireless Distribution System). WDS enables one or more Access Points to rebroadcast received signals to extend range and reach, though this can affect the overall throughput of data.
Note that WDS implementation can vary from product to product. Hence there is no guarantee that different products will interoperate. In addition, the security settings for WDS links should be the same as the one set up for your wireless clients.
