ìNext to Wireless distribution system, select the On option to activate WDS. The name of the client is shown in the Comment field.

The MAC address of the repeater is shown in the MAC address field if there is a connec- tion.

The SSID is shown in the SSID field if there is a connection with the repeater. The radio channel used for data transfer is shown in the Channel field.

The Signal strength shows the strength of the connection to the repeater in percentage terms if there is a connection to the repeater.

ìClick on Refresh to update the display.

ìApply the settings by clicking OK.

Note:

Depending on the status of the software in your device, it is possible that SuperG might not function in conjunction with WDS. If necessary, check whether a software upgrade is offered on the Internet.
