VMG3925-B10A User’s Guide

The following table describes the labels in this screen.

7.7

The WDS Screen

An AP using the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) can function as a wireless network bridge

allowing you to wirelessly connect two wired network segments. The

WDS

screen allows you to

configure the VMG to connect to two or more APs wirelessly when WDS is enabled.

Use this screen to set up your WDS (Wireless Distribution System) links between the VMG and

other wireless APs. You need to know the MAC address of the peer device. Once the security

settings of peer sides match one another, the connection between devices is made.

Note: WDS security is independent of the security settings between the VMG and any

wireless clients.

Note: At the time of writing, WDS is compatible with other ZyXEL APs only. Not all models

support WDS links. Check your other AP’s documentation.
