WDS – ACCESS POINT MODE (WPS-AP) OVERVIEW
WDS (Wireless Distribution System) Access Point mode enables the wireless interconnection of Access Points. Access Points traditionally connect to the network via a cable (see Access Point Mode), however in WDS­Access Point mode, Access Points connect to the network wirelessly and create a wireless or wired network for devices to connect to. WDS-Access Point mode allows for multiple WDS-Access Points to be set up on a network. They function similar to that of a range extender or repeater.
