able to support the configured security mode.

The radio interface can be configured to operate in a mode that allows it to

forward traffic directly to other Wireless Router units. This feature can be

used to extend the range of the wireless network to reach remote clients,

or to link disconnected network segments to an Internet connection.

To set up links between units, you must configure the Wireless Distribution
System (WDS) forwarding table by specifying the wireless MAC address of

all units to which you want to forward traffic.

All units in a WDS wireless network must be configured with the

same SSID and use the same radio channel. Also each WDS link must be

configured with the same encryption key on both units in the link.

Up to four WDS links can be specified for each unit in the WDS network.
The following figures illustrate an example WDS network.
