3 Configure a WDS interface for data exchange with MyAP2 (for example).

Start by typing the MAC address for MyAP2 as the “Remote Address” and fill in the rest of the boxes to specify the network (guest or internal), security, and so on. Save the settings (click Update).

4 Click Advanced—>Radioon the Administration Web page to verify or set the mode and the radio channel on which you want MyAP1 to broadcast.

Remember that the two access points participating in the link, MyAP1 and MyAP2, must be set to the same Mode and be transmitting on the same channel.

For our example, let us say we are using IEEE 802.11b Mode and broadcasting on Channel 6. (We would choose Mode and Channel from the lists on the Radio screen.)

5 Now repeat the same steps for MyAP2:

•Open Administration Web pages for MyAP2 by using MyAP2’s IP address in a URL.

•Click WDS on the MyAP2 Administration Web page. (MyAP2’s MAC address will show as the “Local Address”.)

•Configure a WDS interface for data exchange with MyAP1, starting with the MAC address for MyAP1.

•Navigate to the radio settings for MyAP2 to verify that it is using the same mode and broadcasting on the same channel as MyAP1. (For our example, the Mode is 802.11b and the channel is 6.)

•Be sure to save the settings by clicking Update.
