WDS(Wireless Distribution System):

WDS(Wireless Distribution System):are the building in HFSS or DSSS underneath, can let base stations and base between machine to communicate, comparing different is WDS function is available when the wireless network Repeaters, and many sets of base stations for a, at present a lot of wireless base station has WDS.

WDS wireless mode profile

WDS his full name for ever System, namely Wireless Wireless distributed systems. Past in the wireless application fields he is to help with the wireless stations wireless stations between contact communication system.

Domestic applications are slightly different, WDS function is to act as a wireless network Repeaters, through in the wireless router on open WDS function, let its can be extended wireless signals, thus covering a wider greater scope. Anyway WDS is that it will enable wireless AP or wireless router through wireless for bridging between (relay), whereas the relay process does not affect its wireless devices covering effect function. So we can use two wireless equipment, let its established between WDS trust and communication relation, which will be a wireless network coverage expanded to the original one time.larger greatly facilitate our wireless Internet access.

Working principle

The cable networks WDS through wireless network data, after framework of transmitting, by which network data transfer to another wireless network environment, or is another cable networks. Because through wireless networks form virtual net line, so someone called this is dissgruntled emplyees luqiao connect function. Strict stands, wireless network luqiao connect function is usually refers to the one-on-one WDS framework, but can do a pair, and the object can be bridged network card or cable system. So at least will have two WDS with function of AP, the highest number depends manufacturers design framework to decide. The most simply say: be WDS can make wireless AP through wireless for bridging between (relay), at the same time does not affect its wireless AP cover function.

WDS application advantages

Wireless distributed system (WDS) wireless mixed mode, can support in point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, relay application mode wireless access points (AP), while working in two working mode state. Namely: bridge mode + AP mode.

Wireless local area network innovation wireless distributed system (WDS), change the original simplex, simple wireless application mode. For example: large hot spots and enterprise users choose wireless WDS technology solutions when, can through various optional wireless application modes to connect each AP, thus greatly improving the entire network structure of flexible and convenient. It is particularly noteworthy: make the wireless network users to buy at least wireless devices, achieve more USES the realization of the function of the.

Generally speaking for use at home a wireless router in most cases are not so ideal, after all, most of the family home structure and layout are not square founder, round the corner of the wall will seriously affect the wireless signals transmission effect.

For example, some bedrooms new home area has 100 square meters, but when the wireless devices in a study in the sitting room of balcony cannot receive any signal, only the notebook moves to the dining area to connect to wireless networks in the family. This signal strength the problem of insufficient has affected the author's use.

In view of this situation, we can use the WDS wireless mode to expand the coverage of the wireless signals to enhance signal strength of purpose.

Smooth realization WDS wireless mode of preparation

Of course WDS expansion of wireless signal coverage is not casually implementation, he needs our equipment support. Generally speaking WDS is based on two wireless devices based on implementation, namely through a device ACTS as the wireless signals relaying equipments to achieve the purpose of signal extension. So we need to own two wireless AP or wireless router, also need to make sure that these two wireless devices at least a support wireless distributed system WDS function.

Each wireless distribution system (WDS) link will be mapped to AP on a logical WDS mouth. WDS mouth behavior is similar to Ethernet port, not similar to the standard wireless interface: in BSS ports, access points through correlation and frame to study; While in WDS or Ethernet port, access points only by the frame to learn. Setting, WDS please remember the following:

WDS link with the client share communication bandwidth. So, despite the access point unit of maximum data rate still is the 11m bit/SEC, but in WDS link activity, the client throughput rate reduced.

If no WDS table already configuration partner MAC address, WDS port will remain disabled.

In every single AP WDS port shall have only throng MAC address. Not in the list of the AP WDS port repeat type same MAC address.

As members of the WDS each access point all must have the same channel setting can write to each other.

As members of the WDS each access point must have the same WEP encryption Settings. Don't use WDS 802.1 x, therefore, if to encrypt WDS link, must be installed with each access point use WEP encryption (only WEP encryption or mixed mode), and each access point must have the same encryption key 1.

If the network does not support spanning tree, please take care to avoid the AP formed between network loop. For example, in connection to the same Ethernet two access point between create WDS link, will form the network loop (if already disabled spanning tree).

Must be disabled "automatic channel selection" to create WDS.

If the AP only through WDS links to the Web, you will need to set the static IP address by Web interface management AP.
