Section 3 Configuration

	System or WDS functionality) enables wireless communication
	only with other wireless bridges to build a larger wireless network.

	WR850’s capability to support associations with wireless
	clients.
	• Selecting Wireless Bridge Only configures the WR850 to
	specifically communicate with other wireless bridges
	and/or access points.
	NOTE: For WDS bridge-to-bridge links to operate properly, ensure
	that you match wireless security parameters between wireless
	bridges and access points.
	NOTE: When using Wireless Bridge Only operation, the
	Performance Enhancement (above) should be Off.

	of the other AP in order to setup a WDS connection.
