Station WDS
Station WDS (Wireless Distribution System) mode is similar to Station mode. The
difference is that Station WDS must connect to an access point that has been
configured to Access Point WDS (or Root AP) mode. WDS is a means of
interconnecting two or more access points in a wireless network that maintains the MAC
addresses across the links between access points. It is fully transparent.

It should be noted that WDS is not defined as a standard by the IEEE or other
standards bodies, therefore it often results in incompatibility between different
manufacturer’s products. Also a disadvantage of WDS is that it reduces the throughput.

Station WDS is most commonly used for point to point or point to point to multipoint
connections between two or more buildings or locations, sometimes miles apart.
