Make sure that all WLAN access points in the WDS use
the same radio channel.
z Every access point participating in the WDS fulfills the
tasks of a WLAN access point for its given WLAN clients.
This means that the WLAN clients see each WLAN ac-
cess point with an individual name (SSID) and individu-
al encryption settings.
If you use the WLAN control software provided by the
Windows XP Service Pack 2 on your WLAN clients, you
can assign the same SSID and the same encryption set-
tings to different WLAN access points. Each client can
then automatically register at the WLAN access point
with the best availability.
z Make sure that each IP address is assigned only once in
the wireless network.
