WDS Bridge Mode
In WDS Bridge Mode, the Accesss Point can wirelessly connect different LANs by conguring the MAC address and security
settings of each Access Points. Use this operating mode when two wired LANs located a small distance apart want to
communicate with each other. The best solution is to use the Access Point to wirelessly connect two wired LANs, as
shown in the following diagram.
WDS Bridge Mode can establish up to four (4) to eight (8) WDS links, creating a star-like network.
Note: WDS Bridge Mode does not act as an Access Point. Access Points linked by WDS are using the same frequency
channel. More Access Points connected together may lower throughput. This conguration can be susceptible to
generate endless network loops in your network, so it is recommended to enable the Spanning Tree function to
prevent this from happening.
