Chapter 7 Wireless 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 Device 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 Device 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 Device 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. Click Network Setting > Wireless > WDS. The following screen displays. Figure 40 Network Setting > Wireless > WDS The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 26 Network Setting > Wireless > WDS LABEL DESCRIPTION Wireless Bridge Setup AP Mode Select the operating mode for your Device.
