The Distance Between APs must be set before the Multicast Rate, because when you select the Distance Between APs, the appropriate range of Multicast values automatically populates the drop-down menu.

Wireless Distribution System (WDS)

A Wireless Distribution System (WDS) creates a link between two 802.11b APs over their radio interfaces. This link relays traffic from one 802.11b AP that does not have Ethernet connectivity to a second 802.11b AP that has Ethernet connectivity. WDS allows you to configure up to six

(6) point-to-point links between Access Points.

In the WDS Example that follows, AP 1 and AP 2 communicate over a WDS link (represented by the blue line). This link provides Client 1 with access to network resources even though AP 1 is not directly connected to the Ethernet network. Packets destined for or sent by the client are relayed between the Access Points over the WDS link.
