Example 1: Mr. Wang and Mr. Li are both classmates and friends. They both live on the same floor of the two buildings, with a distance of 20-30 meters, the two brothers want to connect the two computers into a LAN for data sharing. From time to time, they can play games. However, considering that the wiring is not in line with the actual situation, wireless bridging WDS will be used !!
Example 2: Mr. Chen's home is a two-storey villa with a large area and a large compartment. The broadband is the ADSL of China Telecom. The two laptops need to share the broadband and cover the entire villa wirelessly, enjoy mobile Internet access. Due to the special circumstances of Mr. Chen's family, it is difficult for a single wireless router on the market to cover the entire villa. Then we need to connect more than two wireless routes in the coverage mode to increase the coverage range !!
I. First, explain the functions and differences of bridging and coverage.
WDS + AP): connect the two networks with wireless signals or increase the access range of the wireless client, and provide wireless access bridging WDS for the wireless client ): connect the two networks with wireless signals, and the wireless client cannot be connected without a single device.
2. Configure devices and preparations for wireless bridging and coverage
1. More than two wireless routers, one PC and one wireless network card.
2. Configure the IP address of the PC to be in the same CIDR block as the wireless route. The configuration procedure is as follows: Open the properties of the network neighbor> Local Connection Properties> Internet protocol TCP/IP) and configure your IP address.
Configure your DNS.
3. Open the configuration interface 192.168.1.1 of the two routers respectively, and write down the MAC addresses of their LAN ports, as shown in)
