Buffalo AirStation WHR-HP-G54 - Troubleshooting WDS Bridge Setup; Notes on WDS

77
Most problems with setting up WDS are caused by incorrectly entering the MAC
addresses into each AirStation’s Web-Based Conguration Utility. If you’re having
problems, check the MAC address settings in both AirStations’s Web-Based Conguration
Utilities. Each Airstation should be congured to be in a bridge with the other’s wireless
MAC address.
Conrm that all bridges are set to the same wireless channel.
Check the Packet Log (Advanced/Diagnostic/Packet Info) in each AirStation’s Web-
Based Conguration Utility to conrm communication between them (screenshot to
right). The “WDS” entries should show packets both
sent and received. In this example, the packet log
shows packets sent but not received, so the next
troubleshooting step would be to check the other
AirStation’s settings and packet log for more clues.
If you cannot access the AirStations wirelessly,
reconnect the Ethernet cables as shown on page
67 to easily access the AirStations’s Web-Based
Conguration Utilities.
