Check whether you can ping the Access Point from Station:

[admin@Station] > ping 10.1.0.1

10.1.0.164 byte ping: ttl=64 time=3 ms

10.1.0.164 byte ping: ttl=64 time=3 ms

WDS Station

Using 802.11 set of standards you cannot simply bridge wireless stations. To solve this problem, the wds- station mode was created - it works just like a station, but connects only to APs that support WDS. This example shows you how to make a transparent network, using the Station WDS feature:

[WDS_AP]

[WDS_Station]

Interface: Local

Interface: To-WDS-AP	Interface: WDS-AP	Internet
IP: 10.1.0.2	SSID=wds-sta-test

Wireless Client on 192.168.0.0/24
