22The ENH900EXT can be used as a centralized Outdoor Access Point with which other EnGenius Wireless N 2.4 or 5 GHz Outdoor Client Bridges can associate; leveraging the long-range capability of their internal high-gain directional antennas, resulting in a very cost-effective solution to expand a company network over a multiple building campus.

The best solution is to use the ENH900EXT to wirelessly connect two wired LANs, as shown in the following diagram. WDS Bridge Mode can establish up to four WDS links, creating a star-like network. Note: WDS Bridge Mode does not act as an Access Point. Access Points linked by WDS are using the same frequency channel. More Access Points connected together may lower throughput. This conguration can be susceptible togenerate endless network loops in your network, so it is recommended to enable the Spanning Tree function to prevent this from happening.ENH900EXTWDS BridgeENH900EXTWDS BridgeENH900EXTWDS BridgeClientComputerClientComputerClientComputer
