AP Mode

Before you set up WDS bridging:

1)Make sure your wireless computer can associate with individual router/AP.

2)Configure the same channel for every router/AP.

3)Configure a unique different SSID for every router/AP in order to distinguish each unit on your wireless LAN.

4)Configure a static IP address for every router/AP. Make sure all IP addresses are based on the same subnet mask, and out of your DCHP client range.

Parameters

Description

 

 

 

AP Mode

AP Only: WDS function is disabled.

 

WDS Only: The router is functioning as a bridge to connect

 

with other WDS enabled AP/Router. Wireless client is not able

 

to connect to the router at WDS Only mode.

 

Hybrid: The router is functioning as a bridge as well as an AP

 

that allows wireless client association at the same time. (Note:

 

the data throughput is halved with Hybrid mode.)

Remote AP MAC

Enter the MAC address of other WDS enabled AP/Router into

 

MAC 1 ~ MAC4. This feature allows you to bridge up to 4

 

AR695W routers. It is suggested to use “Copy to” function to

 

avoid any typo.

Scanned AP’s MAC

Click on the drop-down menu to select a AP you wish to bridge

 

to, select a number from the drop-down menu of Remote AP

 

MAC and click Copy to, the MAC address will be automatically

 

filled into the corresponding MAC address field above.

Scan AP

Click Scan AP to find the available wireless Router/AP that you

 

wish to bridge. If the wireless router/AP is not showing in the list,

 

it may be out of range, and you need to move it closer in order

 

to build the bridge connection.

After you finished all settings, click Save to save the settings and click Reboot. The change will take effect after rebooting the router.
