WDS (in Repeater Mode)
The Wireless Distribution System (WDS) provides a means to
extend the range of a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN).
WDS allows the Wireless AP to establish a direct link to other
wireless base stations and allows clients to roam freely within the
area covered by the WDS. To carry out a site survey of available
wireless base stations, click Scan.
