5.2.3. WDS Application
The following figure shows a wireless network for Humans Resource Department (marked as A in the
figure), Finance Department (marked as B), and Marketing Department (marked as C) in an enterprise.
If the three departments share one wireless router, signals searched by computers may be rather weak
or even no signals are available. However, if each of the three departments uses a wireless router, we
can use WDS to connect the three routers to provide perfect wireless coverage for the whole areas.
