Appendix E: WDS Explained
One of the requirements for a WDS network is that the operational frequency channel on all the APs must be the
same. This is one of the reasons why there is a huge bandwidth penalty when setting up a wireless network in WDS
mode. The same SSID setting can also be used on all the APs, but it is highly recommended to have different SSID on
each AP with WDS mode.
How to properly configure your APs in a WDS network will foremost depend on the locations of your wireless hotspots.
Please take a look at the following two WDS topology examples:
WDS in a Star Configuration:
This is the mode to use if you’re expanding the hotspots in the area around your master AP that is connected to the
WAN. What you’ll need to do is enable WDS and ACL on all the APs. Then input each of the MAC addresses of Slave
A,B,C into the Master AP under both the WDS and ACL section. For the Slave APs A,B,C you’ll input only the MAC
address of the Master AP into the WDS and ACL list to limit them to direct their traffic through the Master AP only.
