5.2 WDS AP Mode
The WM-OAP8251AG also supports WDS AP mode. This operating mode allows wireless
connections to the WM-OAP8251AG using WDS technology. In this mode, configure the
MAC addresses in both Access Points to enlarge the wireless area by enabling WDS Link
settings. WDS supports up to four (4) AP MAC adresses.

5.3 WDS Bridge Mode
In WDS Bridge Mode, the WM-OAP8251AG can wirelessly connect different LANs by
configuring the MAC address and security settings of each WM-OAP8251AG device. Use
this mode when two wired LANs located a small distance apart want to communicate
with each other. The best solution is to use the WM-OAP8251AG to wirelessly connect
two wired LANs, as shown in the following diagram. WDS Bridge Mode can establish up
to four (4) 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 configuration can be susceptible to
generate endless network loops in your network, so it is recommended to
enable the Spanning Tree feature to prevent this from happening.

5.5 AP Mesh Mode
Under the AP Mesh mode, the WM-OAP8251AG can be used as the central connection
hub for station or clients that support IEEE 802.11 b/g/n network. Under this mode, the
WM-OAP8251AG can be configured with the same Mesh SSID and security password in
order to associate with other WM-OAP8251AGs, as well as connect with clients under
the same SSID and encryption signatures. For example, you would use one band to
connect Access Points in range with Mesh mode and the other band to broadcast traffic
on the network.
