mode will be the Master, the other two APs will be the Slave, all of the APs in
the WDS group must use the same wireless channel and the same security
setting, the Master need to fill all the 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, the maximum of one Master can join eight Slave 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. All of LANs will be at the
same LAN environment coming through LAN-A.

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.
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.
