configure a WDS MAC list entry. This feature allows the 11n Router
to associate with other 11n Routers in the network and use their
WDS MAC list. Lazy mode requires one other 11n Router within the
wireless network that is configured in Bridge or Repeater mode, and
has a configured MAC address list.
■
Bridge: Operates as a standard bridge that forwards traffic
between WDS links (links that connect to other units in Repeater or
Lazy mode). The MAC addresses of WDS peers must be configured
on the 11n Router.
■
Repeater: Operates as a wireless repeater, extending the range for
remote wireless clients and connecting them to an AP connected to
the wired network. The MAC addresses of WDS peers must be
configured on the 11n Router.
◆ Physical — The radio media coding used on all WDS links. CCK
corresponds to 11b, OFDM corresponds to 11g, and HTMIX corresponds
to 11n.
◆ Encryption Type — The data encryption used on the WDS link. Be
sure that both ends of a WDS link are configured with the same
encryption type and key. (Options: None, WEP, TKIP, AES.
Default: None)
◆ Encryption Key — The encryption key for the WDS link. The key type
and length varies depending on the encryption type selected. For WEP,
enter 5 alphanumeric characters or 10 hexadecimal digits for 64-bit
keys, or 13 alphanumeric characters or 26 hexadecimal digits for 128-
bit keys. For TKIP or AES, enter a password key phrase of between 8 to
63 ASCII characters, which can include spaces, or specify exactly 64
hexadecimal digits.
◆ AP MAC Address — The MAC address of the other 11n Router in the
WDS link.

(WPS)
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is designed to ease installation and activation
of security features in wireless networks. WPS has two basic modes of
operation, Push-button Configuration (PBC) and Personal Identification
Number (PIN). The WPS PIN setup is optional to the PBC setup and
provides more security. The WPS button on the 11n Router can be pressed
at any time to allow a single device to easily join the network.
The WPS Settings page includes configuration options for setting WPS
device PIN codes and activating the virtual WPS button.
Click on “Wireless Settings,” followed by “WPS”.
