WDS Setting — Configures WDS related parameters. Up to four MAC addresses
can be specified for each unit in the WDS network. WDS links may either be
manually configured (Bridge and Repeater modes) or auto-discovered (Lazy mode).

• WDS – Selects the WDS mode of WLAN1. (Default: Disabled)
- Disabled: WDS is disabled.
- Bridge: Operates as a standard bridge that forwards traffic between WDS links
- Bridge: Operates as a standard bridge that forwards traffic between WDS links
(links that connect to other AP/wireless bridges, or units in Repeater or Lazy
mode) and an Ethernet port. Only data destined for stations which are known to
be on the peer Ethernet link, multicast data or data with unknown destinations,
need to be forwarded through the WDS link. The Bridge mode does not transmit
a beacon, unlike the other three modes. In this mode the wireless AP/Router
may also function as a repeater.

a beacon, unlike the other three modes. In this mode the wireless AP/Router
may also function as a repeater.
Note: Enabling “Bridge” mode disables WLAN2.
- Repeater – Operates as a wireless repeater, extending the range for remote
wireless clients and connecting them to an AP connected to the wired network.
WDS peers must be registered with the wireless AP/Router. Repeater mode
also supports the dual capability of the VAP functioning as an AP. In this mode,
traffic is not forwarded to the Ethernet port from the radio interface. In Repeater
mode the wireless AP/Router transmits a beacon.

- Lazy – Operates in an automatic mode that detects and learns WDS peer
addresses from received WDS four-address format frame packets, without the
need to configure a WDS MAC list entry. This feature allows the wireless AP/
Router to associate with other wireless AP/Routers in the network and use their
WDS MAC list. In Lazy mode the wireless AP/Router sends a beacon.

• WDS Encryption Type – Sets the WDS encryption type, the options for which are
determined by the Authentication Mode and the Encryption Type selected in the
Security Settings.
Security Settings.
Note: When WDS is disabled or the WDS Encryption Type is set to "none," WDS
encryption is also disabled.
- When Authentication Mode is set to Open, Shared, or WEP auto; WEP is the
only WDS encryption type.
- When Authentication Mode is set to WPA Personal, or WPA2 Personal, the
WDS encryption type may be TKIP or AES.
- None: Disables WDS encryption.
- WEP: Uses WEP keys for data
- WEP: Uses WEP keys for data
encryption.
- TKIP: Uses Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol (TKIP) keys for encryption as a
replacement for WEP. TKIP avoids the
problems of WEP static keys by
dynamically changing data encryption
keys.
