MAC Address

Enter the MAC address of the wireless client that you want to list into the access control list, click “Apply,” and it will be added into the table at the bottom.

Delete Selected/All

Check the box before one or more MAC addresses of wireless client(s) that you want to cancel, and click “Delete Selected” or “Delete All” to cancel that access control rule.

5.2.3 WDS Settings

Extend the range of your network without using cables to link the Access Points by using the Wireless Distribution System (WDS). Simply put, you can link the Access Points wirelessly. Open “WDS Settings” in “Wireless.”

Figure 5-4. WDS Settings.

Enter the MAC address of another AP you want to connect wirelessly to into the appropriate field and click on the “Apply” button to save the settings.

NOTE: WDS Settings is available only under Bridge and AP Repeater Mode.

Bridge uses the WDS protocol that is not defined as the standard, so compatibility issues between equipment from different vendors may arise. Moreover, Tree or Star shape network topology should be used in all WDS use-cases (that is, if AP2 and AP3 are specified as the WDS peers of AP1, AP2 should not be specified as the WDS peer of AP3 and AP3 should not be specified as the WDS peer of AP2 in any case). Avoid using mesh and ring network topologies, because they are not supported by WDS.
