Step 4. In AP-2, press Scan AP to search the AP-1. You can also enter the MAC address, SSID, encryption and bandwidth if you know what they are.

Step 5. Click "Next" to finish the setting.

Step 6. Go to "Repeater Information" to check connection status.

Step 7. Use command line tool to ping each other to ensure the link is successfully established.

From Site-1, ping 192.168.1.200; and in Site-2, ping 192.168.1.100.

Step 8. Configure the TCP/IP settings of Site-2 to "Obtain an IP address automatically".

Step 9. Use command line tool to ping the DNS (e.g., Google) to ensure Site-2 can access internet through the wireless connection.

Step 1. Use static IP in the PCs that are connected with WBS-512AC-1 (Site-1) and WBS-512AC-2 (Site-2). In this case, Site-1 is "192.168.1.100", and Site-2 is "192.168.1.200".  Step 2. In AP-2, change the default IP to the same IP range but different from AP-1. In this case, the IP is changed to 192.168.1.252.  Step 3. In both APs, go to "Wizard" to configure it in Super WDS Mode.  Step 4. In AP1 set up WDS SSID, for example WDS-1. Select Encrypt for WEP and enter password.  Step 5. Finish the 5G Wi-Fi and LAN setting. Step 6. Click "Home" to check WDS status.

Step 7. In AP2 scan AP1 WDS SSID, for example WDS-1. Select Encrypt for WEP and enter password.  Step 8. Confirm SSID and MAC. Select Encrypt for WEP and enter password.  Step 9. Finish the 5G Wi-Fi and LAN setting. Step 10. Go back to AP1 to scan and set up WDS SSID with AP2. Then finish the 5G Wi-Fi and LAN setting.   Step 11. Go to "WDS Information" to check connection status.  Step 12. Use command line tool to ping each other to ensure the link is successfully established. From Site-1, ping 192.168.1.200; and in Site-2, ping 192.168.1.100.   The following hints should be noted: 1) The encryption method must be the same as that of both sites if configured. 2) Both sites should be Line-of-Sight. 3) For the short distance connection less than 1km, please reduce the "RF Output Power" of both sites. 4) For the long distance connection over 1km, please adjust the "Distance" to the actual distance or double the actual distance.

Appendix C: Troubleshooting

If you find the AP is working improperly or stops responding to you, please read this troubleshooting first before contacting the dealer for help. Some problems can be solved by yourself within a very short time.

Scenario Solution
The AP is not responding to me when I want to access it by Web browser.	a. Please check the connection of the power cord and the Ethernet cable of this AP. All cords and cables should be correctly and firmly inserted into the AP.b. If all LEDs on this AP are off, please check the status of power adapter, and make sure it is correctly powered.c. You must use the same IP address section where AP uses.d. Are you using MAC or IP address filter? Try to connect the AP with another computer and see if it works; if not, please reset the AP to the factory default settings by pressing the ‘reset’ button for over 7 seconds.e. Use the Smart Discovery Tool to see if you can find the AP or not.f. If you did a firmware upgrade and this happens, contact your dealer for help.g. If all the solutions above don’t work, contact the dealer for help.
I can’t get connected to the Internet.	a. Go to ‘Status’ -> ‘Internet Connection’ menu on the router connected to the AP, and check Internet connection status.b. Please be patient, sometimes Internet is just that slow.c. If you’ve connected a computer to Internet directly before, try to do that again, and check if you can get connected to Internet with your computer directly attached to the device provided by your Internet service provider.d. Check PPPoE / L2TP / PPTP user ID and password entered in the router’s settings again.e. Call your Internet service provider and check if there’s something wrong with their service.f. If you just can’t connect to one or more website, but you can still use other internet services, please check URL/Keyword filter.g. Try to reset the AP and try again later.h. Reset the device provided by your Internet service provider too.i. Try to use IP address instead of host name. If you can use IP address to communicate with a remote server, but can't use host name, please check DNS setting.
I can't locate my AP by my wireless device.	a. ‘Broadcast ESSID’ set to off?b. Both two antennas are properly secured.c. Are you too far from your AP? Try to get closer.d. Please remember that you have to input ESSID on your wireless client manually, if ESSID broadcast is disabled.
File downloading is very slow or breaks frequently.	a. Are you using QoS function? Try to disable it and try again.b. Internet is slow sometimes. Please be patient.c. Try to reset the AP and see if it's better after that.d. Try to know what computers do on your local network. If someone's transferring big files, other people will think Internet is really slow.e. If this never happens before, call you Internet service provider to know if there is something wrong with their network.
I can't log into the web management interface; the password is wrong.	a. Make sure you're connecting to the correct IP address of the AP!b. Password is case-sensitive. Make sure the ‘Caps Lock’ light is not illuminated.c. If you really forget the password, do a hard reset.
The AP becomes hot	a. This is not a malfunction, if you can keep your hand on the AP's case.b. If you smell something wrong or see the smoke coming out from AP or A/C power adapter, please disconnect the AP and power source from utility power (make sure it's safe before you're doing this!), and call your dealer for help.

Appendix D: Glossary

802.11ac - 802.11ac is a wireless networking standard in the 802.11 family (which is marketed under the brand name Wi-Fi), developed in the IEEE Standards Association process, providing high-throughput wireless local area networks (WLANs) on the 5 GHz band. 802.11n - 802.11n builds upon previous 802.11 standards by adding MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output). MIMO uses multiple transmitter and receiver antennas to allow for increased data throughput via spatial multiplexing and increased range by exploiting the spatial diversity, perhaps through coding schemes like Alamouti coding. The Enhanced Wireless Consortium (EWC) [3] was formed to help accelerate the IEEE 802.11n development process and promote a technology specification for interoperability of next-generation wireless local area networking (WLAN) products. 802.11a - 802.11a was an amendment to the IEEE 802.11 wireless local network specifications that defined requirements for an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) communication system. It was originally designed to support wireless communication in the unlicensed national information infrastructure (U-NII) bands (in the 5–6 GHz frequency range) as regulated in the United States by the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 47, Section 15.407. 802.11b - The 802.11b standard specifies a wireless networking at 11 Mbps using direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and WEP encryption for security. 802.11b networks are also referred to as Wi-Fi networks. 802.11g - specification for wireless networking at 54 Mbps using direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology, using OFDM modulation and operating in the unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and backward compatibility with IEEE 802.11b devices, and WEP encryption for security. DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) - The capability of assigning a fixed host and domain name to a dynamic Internet IP Address. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) - A protocol that automatically configure the TCP/IP parameters for the all the PC(s) that are connected to a DHCP server. DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) - A Demilitarized Zone allows one local host to be exposed to the Internet for a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing. DNS (Domain Name System) - An Internet Service that translates the names of websites into IP addresses. Domain Name - A descriptive name for an address or group of addresses on the Internet. DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) - A technology that allows data to be sent or received over existing traditional phone lines. ISP (Internet Service Provider) - A company that provides access to the Internet. MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) - The size in bytes of the largest packet that can be transmitted. NAT (Network Address Translation) - NAT technology translates IP addresses of a local area network to a different IP address for the Internet. - PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) - PPPoE is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over an always-on connection by simulating a dial-up connection. SSID - A Service Set Identification is a thirty-two character (maximum) alphanumeric key identifying a wireless local area network. For the wireless devices in a network to communicate with each other, all devices must be configured with the same SSID. This is typically the configuration parameter for a wireless PC card. It corresponds to the ESSID in the wireless Access Point and to the wireless network name. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - A data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit or 128-bit or 152-bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard. Wi-Fi - A trade name for the 802.11b wireless networking standard, given by the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA, see http://www.wi-fi.net), an industry standards group promoting interoperability among 802.11b devices. WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) - A group of computers and associated devices communicate with each other wirelessly, which network serving users are limited in a local area.
