Chapter 7 Wireless LAN

7.8 The WDS Screen

A Wireless Distribution System (WDS) is a wireless connection between two or more APs. Use this screen to set up your WDS links between the P-2812HNU- 51cs. You need to know the MAC address of the peer device. Once the security settings of peer sides match one another, the connection between the devices is made.

Note: You cannot use WDS when WPS is enabled or wireless security is set to “WPA" or "WPA2". The wireless security settings apply to both WDS links and the connections between the ZyXEL Device and any wireless clients.

Note: At the time of writing, WDS is only compatible with other ZyXEL Devices of the same model.

Click Network > Wireless LAN > WDS. The following screen displays. WDS is turned on and this screen is configurable when the ZyXEL Device's wireless security mode is No Security, WEP or WPA(2)-PSK.
