The WDS Screen
A Wireless Distribution System (WDS) is a wireless connection between two or
more APs. Use this screen to set up your WDS links between the ZyXEL Devices.
You need to know the MAC address of the peer device. Once the security settings
of peer sides match one another, the connection between the devices is made.
Note: You can use WDS only when wireless security is set to “No Security” or “WEP”.
The wireless security settings apply to both WDS links and the connections
between the ZyXEL Device and any wireless clients.
Note: At the time of writing, WDS is only compatible with other ZyXEL Devices of the
same model.
