WIRELESS BRIDGE

The IEEE 802.11 standard defines a Wireless Distribution System (WDS)

for bridge connections between access points. The Wireless Broadband

Router can use WDS to forward traffic on links between units.

Up to four WDS links can be specified for the Wireless Broadband Router.

The WDS feature enables two basic functions to be configured in the

wireless network. Either a repeater function that extends the range of the

wireless network, or a bridge function that connects a remote LAN segment

to an Internet connection.
