You set the SSID of the remote location(s) using either a
unique nameor by using the same SSID as you use for your
main base station.(Whoa, our heads just exploded!) Using
the same SSID (a “roaming” network)is pretty cool. You
associate with one AP one time and then yourPC or Mac
can associate with any AP on your WDS network without
youhaving to do anything — it’s more seamless this way.
But remember, youdon’t have to do this — you can give
each AP a unique SSID and justconfigure your computer to
associate with them according to yourpreference.
Make sure you turn off any routing or DHCP functionality in
the remoterepeater stations. All of this functionality should
be performed in themain base station or the network’s main
router.
