The Wireless Broadband Router does not support the spanning tree
algorithm. WDS links should be configured appropriately to avoid causing
loops on the network.
Up to four WDS links can be specified for each unit in the WDS network.
The WDS link can be configured in the following combinations:
1.
Both two units are configured as Gateway Mode
2.
One unit is Gateway Mode and one unit is Bridge Mode
3.
Both two units are configured as Bridge Mode
When both units are set to Gateway Mode, be sure to check these settings:
◆
Be sure each unit is configured with a different LAN IP address.
◆
Be sure that only one unit has Internet access on its WAN port.
◆
Be sure the DHCP server is enabled only on one unit. If one unit is
providing Internet access, enable the DHCP server on that unit.WDS
