Tips for configuring a WDS:
•
AccessPoint 1 is in reach of AccessPoint 2
•
Identical radio channel and modulation mode (802.11g /11b or mixed) applied to both
APs
APs
•
Enter MAC address of the peer AccessPoint in the table (do it for both APs)
•
Every AccessPoint in a chain of WDS has to be configured with a unique IP address.
This can be done by manually configuring every AP or by switching to get the IP ad-
dress dynamically (Primary Settings / LAN IP).

More Range:
Your third floor is not in reach of
your AP-600RP-USB: Place
another AP in reach of the first
one and configure both as
being linked by WDS. You will
then automatically be able to
have access to any of the re-
sources that AP1 is related to.
