4.1.2 WDS Bridge Mode 
WDS Bridge Mode: wireless distribution system (WDS) is a system enabling 
the wireless interconnection of access points in an IEEE 802.11 network. It 
allows a wireless network to be expanded using multiple access points 
without the traditional requirement for a wired backbone to link them. Note: 
The Access Points you select MUST support WDS. 
 
 
 
For example: 
As seen in the figure above, PC1 and PC2 access Internet via a wireless 
connection to Router 1. While PC3 and PC4 are too far to directly connect to 
Router 1 for Internet access. Now you can use the WDS bridge feature to let 
PC3 and PC4 access Internet. 
Before you get started: 
1. View and note down the wireless security settings: security mode, cipher 
type, security key, etc. on Router 1.
