Wireless bridging using WDS (Wireless Distribution System)
Wireless (2.4GHz or 5GHz) > Basic
Wireless bridging using WDS allows the device to create a wireless bridge with other
WDS supported wireless routers and access points configured in WDS mode to bridge
groups of network devices together wirelessly. Simultaneously, the router will also
function in access point mode allowing wireless client devices such as computers, game
consoles, mobile phones, etc. to connect in order to access network resources from
multiple groups of network devices as well as the Internet.
Note: You can create up to four WDS bridge connections on each wireless band (2.4GHz
and 5GHz). WDS (Wireless Distribution System) is not currently standardized and may
not connect to different model wireless routers or access points, therefore, when using
WDS, it is recommended to use the same model and version for wireless bridging.
By default, your router functions in Access Point mode to allow wireless client devices to
connect and access your network resources and access the Internet.
The diagram below shows your router in Access Point mode and clients connecting to
your router.
