Considerations before installation –
z Loop Prevention – Be careful to plan you WDS connections, prevent
your wireless network topology to have loop. Once loop shows up, you
network traffic will become unstable.
z Performance – The system can support up to 8 WDS links. But all links
and wireless stations that operate at the same time will all share single
radio bandwidth. (Ex. 11g have 54Mbps bandwidth)
z Latency – In the chain topology configuration, if the chain becomes very
long, end-to-end latency issue may come in play. We suggest the WDS link
topology planning should not exceed 2 hops in chain configuration.
WDS Security –
WDS now only supports limit wireless security protocol and will have full
dependency with Access Point mode security settings. Here lists 4 different AP
security settings below:
z No Security – Both AP and WDS traffic transmit without encryption
z WEP – Both AP and WDS traffic are encrypted by the same WEP key
z WPA-PSK – The AP work in WPA-PSK mode and WDS link is no security
z WPA – The AP work in WPA mode and WDS link is no security
