Additional WDS Options
The TEW-750DAP access point provides 2 methods to simplify the entering the remote
wireless MAC addresses when configuring WDS mode.
• Lazy WDS
Wireless > Basic > Wireless Network Settings - (2.4GHz or 5GHz) > WDS
This option simplifies the configuration of MAC address in WDS by only
requiring one side of a WDS bridge to add remote wireless MAC addresses. For
example, if the wireless MAC address of AP2 has been added to AP1, the
wireless MAC address of AP1 does not need to be added to AP2. On AP2, you
would need to simply enable (check) Lazy WDS to establish the bridge
connection. This option is only available when using Wireless Bridge with
Access Point.
• WDS Site Survey
Wireless > Basic > Wireless Network Settings - (2.4GHz or 5GHz) > WDS
This option allows you to scan for your remote WDS supported devices
broadcasting (WDS+AP mode), then select and connect to copy the wireless
MAC addresses of your other WDS supported device. This simplifies the process
of having to write down the wireless MAC addresses of all other WDS
supported devices. This option is most useful when using Wireless Bridge with
Access Point.
• Spanning Tree Protocol
Wireless > Basic > Advanced > Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
This option allows the device to create redundant wireless WDS bridge links to
provide fault tolerance in case the primary wireless WDS bridge link fails. When
creating redundant wireless WDS bridge links, STP must be enabled to prevent
loops and broadcast storms to occur across the network which may cause slow
network connectivity and even intermittent loss of connectivity over the
wireless bridged network. This option is only available when the device is set to
WDS or WDS+AP modes.
The diagram below illustrates 2 additional redundant/backup wireless WDS
bridged links (WDS Bridge 4 between AP2 & AP3 and WDS Bridge 5 between
AP3 & AP4) created which would require the STP option to be enabled.
