Section 3 - Configuration

In WDS with AP mode, the DWL-7700AP wirelessly connects multiple networks, while still functioning as a wireless AP. WDS (Wireless

Distribution System) allows access points to communicate with one another wirelessly in a standardized way. It can also simplify the

network infrastructure by reducing the amount of cabling required. Basically the access points will act as a client and an access point at

the same time.
