Note: Before configuring WDS, please ensure the following first:
1.Make sure different IP addresses are assigned to each WDS supported wireless device used for bridging. (ex. 192.168.10.1,192.168.10.2, 192.168.10.3) to avoid IP address conflict. See page 34 for changing the LAN IP address.
2.If you are using more than one WDS supported router, please make sure the LAN DHCP server is enabled on only one and disabled on all others to avoid IP address conflict. See page 35 for DHCP server options.
3.Configure the same wireless channel and use the same on all WDS supported wireless devices. See page 20 for configuring basic wireless settings.
4.Configure the same wireless security and key on all WDS supported devices. See page
