In the point-to-multipoint bridge mode, one WAP device acts as the common link
between multiple access points. In this mode, the central WAP device accepts
client associations and communicates with the clients and other repeaters. All
other access points associate only with the central WAP device that forwards the
packets to the appropriate wireless bridge for routing purposes.

other access points associate only with the central WAP device that forwards the
packets to the appropriate wireless bridge for routing purposes.
The WAP device can also act as a repeater. In this mode, the WAP device serves
as a connection between two WAP devices that might be too far apart to be within
cell range. When acting as a repeater, the WAP device does not have a wired
connection to the LAN and repeats signals by using the wireless connection. No
special configuration is required for the WAP device to function as a repeater, and
there are no repeater mode settings. Wireless clients can still connect to an WAP
device that is operating as a repeater.

Before you configure WDS on the WAP device, note these guidelines:
•
WDS only works with Cisco WAP551 and Cisco WAP561 devices.
•
All Cisco WAP devices participating in a WDS link must have the following
identical settings:
identical settings:
-
Radio
-
IEEE 802.11 Mode
-
Channel Bandwidth
-
Channel (Auto is not recommended)
NOTE
When operating bridging in the 802.11n 2.4 GHz band, set the Channel
Bandwidth to 20 MHz, rather than the default 20/40 MHz. In the 2.4 GHz
20/40 MHz band, the operating bandwidth can change from 40 MHz to
20 MHz if any 20 MHz WAP devices are detected in the area. The
mismatched channel bandwidth can cause the link to disconnect.

When using WDS, be sure to configure WDS on both WAP devices

You can have only one WDS link between any pair of WAP devices. That is,
a remote MAC address may appear only once on the WDS page for a
particular WAP device.
