Channel
Note--It is highly recommended that static channel is
configured on both APs. Do not use Auto channel option
when you enable WDS, as both APs in a WDS link must be
on the same radio channel. If Auto option is configured,
there is chance two access points run on different channels
and WDS link cannot establish.
Workgroup Bridge and WDS will not work at the same time
on one wireless radio. When Workgroup Bridge is enabled,
WDS will be disabled automatically on the same radio.
