BeforeyouconfigureWDSontheAP,notethefollowingguidelines:

•YoucanhaveonlyoneWDSlinkbetweenanypairofAPs.Thatis,aremoteMACaddressmay
appearonly
onceontheWDSpageforaparticularAP.
•BothAPsparticipatinginaWDSlinkmustbeonthesameRadiochannelandusingthesameIEEE802.11
mode.(See“ModifyingRadioSettings”onpage58forinformationonconfiguringtheRadiomodeand
channel.)
•When802.11hisoperational,
settinguptwoWDSlinkscanbedifficult.See“Usingthe802.11hWireless
Mode”onpage57.
