A distribution system links up several of the access points and the areas they serve, 
creating a wider network in which mobile users can roam while still staying connected 
to the available network resources. 
 
In a WDS, the access point can drive a cell of wired and wireless clients while at the 
same time, connecting to other gateways. This requires the operational frequency 
channel to be the same within the cell controlled by your gateway as well as for its 
wireless links to the other gateways. 
 

 
In a star configuration WDS, links are established between one root access 
point and several satellite gateways positioned to increase the area covered. 
 

 

 
Here, the root gateway connects to the Internet and maintains three WDS links 
while each satellite gateway uses one port only for communication with the 
root.
