WDS (Wireless Distribution System)
The WDS provides a means to extend the range of a Wireless Local Area 
Network (WLAN). WDS allows an access point to establish a direct link to 
other access points, and stations to roam freely within the area covered by 
the WDS. (Default: Enable or disable WDS features  - Disable)
Notes: 1. Be sure that all access points with the same WDS links should 
use the same operation “Mode” (802.11b or 802.11g) and radio 
“Channel” number. 
2. Choosing “Auto” of the communication channel is not 
suggested for using WDS. (See “Channel and SSID” on page 
4-32.)

clients.
