5. Bridging

The Bridging page provides a location where settings can be adjusted related to the WDS (Wireless Distribution System) feature.

WDS is a system that enables the interconnection of access points wirelessly. It may also be referred to as repeater mode because it appears to bridge and accept wireless clients at the same time (unlike traditional bridging).

The wireless gateway can be placed in a mode that allows the gateway to communicate with other “extender” wireless access points either exclusively or mixed with communications to local PCs. Use this page to designate the Remote Bridges the gateway is allowed to communicate with, and to select the Wireless Bridging mode.
