Wireless Bridge
Wireless bridging using WDS (Wireless Distribution System) allows the device to create a wireless bridge with other WDS supported wireless routers and access points configured in WDS
mode to bridge groups of network devices together wirelessly. Network enabled devices can be plugged into the Ethernet LAN port. WDS is subset option of Access Point mode.
There are 2 types of WDS modes,
• WDS: Strictly for establishing wireless bridging only and will not function in access point simultaneously, allowing wireless client devices such as computers, game consoles, mobile
phones, etc. to connect in order to access network resources from multiple groups of network devices as well as the Internet. The diagram below illustrates examples of WDS.
• WDS+AP:- Allows the device to establish wireless bridging and function as access point simultaneously, allowing wireless client devices such as computers, game consoles, mobile
phones, etc. to connect to the access point in order to access network resources from multiple groups of network devices as well as the Internet. Please refer to the section
Wireless
Bridge (WDS) with Access Point (AP) Mode on page 19 for details on this mode.
Note: WDS (Wireless Distribution System) is not currently standardized and may not connect to different model wireless routers or access points, therefore, when using WDS, it is
recommended to use the same model and version for wireless bridging.
