13 Set up a WiFi Bridge This chapter describes how you can configure a wireless distribution system (WDS) that consists of point-to-point WiFi bridge connections between two access points. Each WiFi bridge connection requires a WDS profile for which the settings must match on the access points that make up the bridge. A WDS is not the same as a NETGEAR Insight Instant Mesh WiFi network, which requires a root (see Install the Access Point in an Insight Instant Mesh WiFi Network on page 44). The chapter includes the following sections: • WiFi base station, WiFi repeater, and WiFi bridge requirements • Set up a WiFi bridge between access points Note: If you enable Energy Efficiency Mode, you cannot use a WDS. To use a WDS, first disable Energy Efficiency Mode. For more information, see Manage the Energy Efficiency Mode on page 175. Note: In this manual, WiFi network means the same as SSID (service set identifier or WiFi network name) or VAP (virtual access point). That is, when we refer to a WiFi network we mean an individual SSID or VAP. 214
