10.3 WDS Bridge Mode

Step1

Log in to the web‐based configuration interface using the default IP address

 

192.168.1.2.

 

 

Step2

In the left pane, go to Management > Operation Mode.

 

 

Step3

Under Please choose the Operation Mode 5G, click WDS Bridge Mode.

 

 

Step4

Click Apply to save your changes.

 

 

Step5

Enter the Device A LAN IP address (for example, 192.168.10.100).

 

 

Step6

Enter the Device B LAN IP address (for example, 192.168.10.101).

 

 

Step7

In the left pane, go to Management > Status.

 

 

Step8

Under 5GHz WDS, find the 5GHz BSSID (MAC address) of the devices you want to

bridge together.

 

 

 

Step9

In the left pane, go to 5GHz Wireless > WDS Link.

 

 

Step10

In the Channel field, select the desired 5 GHz channel/frequency.

 

 

Step11

In the WDA MAC 0 field, enter the 5GHz BSSID (MAC address) of the WDS link

partner.

 

 

 

Step12

Click Apply to save your changes.

 

 

Step13

Repeat steps 2 through 12 for both WDS bridges, so that Device A has the 5GHz

 

BSSID (MAC address) of Device B and Device B has the 5GHz BSSID (MAC address) of

 

Device A.

 

 

Step14

Optional: Go to 5GHz Wireless > WDS Link and click Security to set up wireless

 

security for the WDS bridge mode connection. (WEP is the only encryption method
