7.8 The WDS Screen
A Wireless Distribution System (WDS) is a wireless connection between two or
more APs. Use this screen to set up your WDS links between the P-2812HNU-
51cs. You need to know the MAC address of the peer device. Once the security
settings of peer sides match one another, the connection between the devices is
made.
Note: You cannot use WDS when WPS is enabled or wireless security is set to “WPA"
or "WPA2". The wireless security settings apply to both WDS links and the
connections between the ZyXEL Device and any wireless clients.
Note: At the time of writing, WDS is only compatible with other ZyXEL Devices of the
same model.
Click Network > Wireless LAN > WDS. The following screen displays. WDS is
turned on and this screen is configurable when the ZyXEL Device's wireless
security mode is No Security, WEP or WPA(2)-PSK.
