(Only in Access Point mode)
A wireless distribution system creates a wider network in which mobile users can
roam while still staying connected to the available network resources by linking
up several access points.
In a WDS, the access point can drive a cell of wired and wireless clients while at
the same time, connecting to other access points. This requires the operational
frequency channel to be the same within the cell controlled by your access
point as well as for its wireless links to the other access points.
Star Configuration WDS
In a star configuration WDS, links are established between one root Access
point and several satellite wireless APs positioned to increase the area covered.
Here, the root Wireless AP connects to the wired network and maintains three
WDS links while each satellite Wireless AP (Access Point) maintain a WDS link for
communication with the root.
