Wireless Settings 71 WDS The Router supports WDS (Wireless Distribution System). WDS enables one or more Access Points to rebroadcast received signals to extend range and reach, though this can affect the overall throughput of data. Note that WDS implementation can vary from product to product. Hence there is no guarantee that different products will interoperate. In addition, the security settings for WDS links should be the same as the one set up for your wireless clients. Figure 54 Wireless WDS Settings Screen 1 Check the Enable WDS Function checkbox. 2 To refresh the list of available access points, click Rescan Wireless Networking. If the MAC address of the desired APs is in the list of scanned APs, you can simply check those APs to add them to the WDS. 3 Click Add to add the MAC address of the AP to the list, (up to 4 APs can be added), the add WDS screen will appear (refer to Figure 55).
