When 802.11h is operational, setting up two WDS links can be difficult. See 

.

•

If you use WPA encryption on the WDS link, VAP0 must use WPA Personal 
or WPA Enterprise as the security mode.

To configure WDS on this access point, describe each remote access point 
intended to receive and send information to this access point. For each destination 
access point, configure the fields listed in 

.

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) prevents switching loops. STP is 
recommended if you configure WDS links. 

Select Enabled to use STP
Select Disabled to turn off STP links (not recommended)

The MAC address for this access point.

The MAC address of the destination access point; the access 
point on the other end of the WDS link to which data will be sent 
and from which data will be received.

Click the drop-down arrow to the right of the Remote Address 
field to see a list of all the available MAC addresses and their 
associated SSIDs on the network. Select the appropriate MAC 
address from the list.

The SSID displayed in the drop-down list is the SSID of 

the remote access point.

You can use no encryption, WEP, or WPA (PSK) on the WDS link. 

If you are unconcerned about security issues on the WDS link, 
you might decide not to set any type of encryption. 
Alternatively, if you have security concerns you can choose 
between Static WEP and WPA (PSK). In WPA (PSK) mode, the 
access point uses WPA2-PSK with CCMP (AES) encryption 
over the WDS link.

To configure WPA-PSK on any WDS link, VAP0 of the 

selected wireless radio must be configured for WPA-PSK or 
WPA-Enterprise.
