Operating in Wireless AP mode, clients can access Internet by connecting to the router via an Ethernet cable or wirelessly. Operating in Wireless Bri dge mode, clients can access Internet by connecting to the router via an Ethernet cable or wirelessly joining the router's secondary S SID (wireless network) or guest network. WDS: Wireless distribution system (WDS) is a system enabling the wireless interconnection of access points in an IEEE 802.11 network. It allows a wireless network to be expanded using multiple access points without the traditional requirement for a wired backbone to link them. The Tenda wireless router can function as a base station AP to create a wireless network or as a repeater AP to repeat and extend the base station AP 's wireless network to a farther and wider 59 High Power Wireless AC1200 Dual Band Router range. The following figure shows an application scenario. In this mode, you must set up both the base station AP, an d the repeater AP. Tip---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before you start, verify the following:
1. Tenda wireless router 1 that functions as a base station AP has successfully connected to Internet. 2. No Ethernet cables are connected to the WAN ports of the repeater APs: Tenda wireless routers 2 and 3.
