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:

•

All Cisco WAP devices participating in a WDS link must have the following 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.

See 

 (Basic Settings) for information on configuring these settings.

•

When using WDS, be sure to configure WDS on both WAP devices participating in the 
WDS link.

•

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.
