This works by using a numerical code as a key to your network. • WDS WDS stands for Wireless Distribution System and is designed to allow you to add access points to your network. These work as a relay station to extend the range of your network. NAT (Page 43) • Shares a single ISP account with multiple users, sets up port forwarding.
