Chapter 2: About
Operation Modes
Please go to the Wireless> WDS to set up the WDS function (Lazy, Bridge or Repeater) of the
Wireless Router.
Gateway Mode
The wireless connection will be set up from a point-to-point local LAN into a point-to-multipoint
WAN. This device connects all the stations (PC/notebook with wireless function) to a wireless network.
All stations can have the Internet access if only the device has the Internet connection.
Bridge (WDS) Mode
The WDS (Wireless Distributed System) function lets this access point act as a wireless LAN access
point and repeater at the same time. Users can use this feature to build up a large wireless network in a
large space like airports, hotels and schools and so on. This feature is also useful when users want to
bridge networks between buildings where it is impossible to deploy network cable connections between
these buildings.
In this mode, all Ethernet ports and wireless interface are bridge together and NAT function is disabled.
All the WAN related function and firewall are not supported.

5
Wireless Distribution System uses wireless media to communicate with other APs, like the Ethernet
does. To do this, you must set these APs in the same channel and wireless MAC address to each other
APs that you want to communicate with.
Repeater (WDS+AP) Mode
If set to Repeater mode, a device connects to each other through an access point or a base station
(gateway or router.) This device can also work like a wireless station when it’s connected to a computer
directly, so that the computer can send packets from wired end to wireless interface.
