The AP-A and AP-C will be both as a Master AP for both WDS Groups, the AP-A represent for the master of WDS Group 1, the AP-C represent for the master of the WDS Group 2 and at the same time AP-C will be the slave of WDS Group 1, so all of the APs in the two WDS groups must use the same wireless channel and same security, the Master need to fill all of Slave's MAC address in the "Remote AP Mac" list, and the Slave need to fill the Master's MAC address in the "Remote AP Mac" list, maximum allow one Master can be join eight Slaves to be one WDS group.

In this example, LAN-A can communicate with LAN-B and LAN-C, and LAN-B can communicate with LAN-C through the AP-A. LAN-B will have the same LAN environment coming through LAN-A.

LAN-E can communicate with LAN-B and LAN-D, LAN-E can communicate with LAN-D through AP-C, LAN-E can communicate with LAN-B through AP-C and AP-A, LAN-E will have the same LAN environment coming through LAN-A.

Authentication Type: The authentication type default is set to Open system. There are four options: Open system; Shared Key; WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK. User may want to set to Shared Key when the clients and AP in the same wireless network enable the WEP encryption. All the nodes and hosts on the network must use the same authentication type.

WEP Key: To disable WEP security, click on the "Disable" option. To enable WEP security, there are 2 types to select – 64bits and 128 bits. When it is selected, the key value must be entered in ASCII or HEX format.

Note: When WEP security is enabled, all the wireless clients that wish to connect to the Access Point must also have WEP enabled with the identical WEP Key value entered.

Beacon Interval: To set the period of time in milliseconds that AP sends out a beacon. Default is 100 milliseconds.

RTS Threshold: To set the size of RTS/CTS packet size. Default is 2432 bytes.

Fragmentation Threshold: To set the number of bytes used for the fragmentation boundary for directed messages. Default is 2346 bytes.

DTIM Interval: This value indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the access point has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM interval value. Access point clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages.

SSID Broadcast: While SSID Broadcast is enabled, all wireless clients will be able to communicate with the access point. For secure purpose, user may want to disable SSID broadcast to allow only those wireless clients with the AP SSID to communicate with the access point.

Mode Setting: To set AP's operation as G Mode for 802.11g only or Mix Mode for 802.11b/802.11g.

TX Rates: Select one of the wireless communications transfer rates, measured in megabytes per second, based upon the speed of wireless adapters connected to the WLAN.
