of WDS group 1 is AP-A, AP-B and AP-C, and member of the WDS group 2 is
AP-C, AP-D and AP-E, the AP-C will join both of WDS group 1 and WDS
group 2, each WDS Group 1 will be one master and the other will be slave.
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.
20
