If WDS is enabled, all traffic from wired networks will be forwarded in the format of WDS frames consist of four address fields. If WDS is disabled, three address frames are used. If your AP supports WDS well, please select the option. • SSID - Enter the SSID of AP that you want to access. If you select the radio before SSID, the AP client will connect to AP according SSID. • MAC of AP - Enter the MAC address of AP that you want to access.
