WDS Wireless Distributed System

WDS is short for wireless distribution system.

The WDS function of the wireless router can be used for wireless expansion.

Protocol for wireless connection to two access points (AP, acess point)

Wireless bridging is onlyWDSIs a common application mode, while another common mode is the wireless relay mode.

Wireless bridgingThis usually refers to one-to-one scenarios,The wireless routers at both ends of the bridge only communicate with the wireless routers at the other end, and do not accept access from other wireless devices. The coverage method has certain limitations.It is often used to connect two different local networks.

WhileWireless relayMode can achieve one to multiple, while extending the wireless signal transmission distance, useWireless routers in the wireless relay mode can also be connected to other wireless devices. More comprehensive and flexible coverage, SoCompared with wireless bridging, wireless relay extended wireless networks are more convenient and practical.

Generally, wireless routers or wireless APs with WDS functions support both wireless relay and wireless bridging modes. Some wireless router manufacturers have not subdivided the two models to facilitate the use of home users, but collectively referred to as the "WDS" model.

For home users, it is recommended to useWDSTo expand wireless coverage and eliminateWiFiDead corner

YesUse old-fashioned wireless routers in the homeThe same way.Achieve wide-area wireless signal coverage

High-power wireless products or dual-band wireless products are not cheap, andA single wireless router alone cannot meet the wireless coverage requirements of multiple households

There isThe prerequisite is that two or more wireless routers must be supported.WDSFeatures, and it is best to choose products of the same brand that can be compatible with each otherNetworking

If you want your mobile phone or tablet to connect to wirelessWithin the signal coverage of the two wireless routersSeamless RoamingThen,You can setSSIDSet to same

First, to preventIPAddress conflict, we will modifyBOfLanPortIPAddress

Second, enableWDSFunction

Then, set the channel"11"With vroAThe same channel,At the same timeSet encryption information and vroASame

Finally, disable the wireless router.BOfDHCPFunction.

After the restart, wireless router B and wireless router A will successfully establish a WDS connection.

 

Fat AP features:

Fat AP is relative to fit AP. Fat AP integrates WLAN physical layer, user data encryption, user authentication, QoS, network management, roaming technology, and other application layer functions. · The fat AP wireless network solution can be composed of fat AP directly on a wired network.

· The fat AP device has a complex structure and is difficult to centrally manage.

Fit AP features:

· Fit AP is a fat AP with only encryption and RF functions. It has a single function and cannot work independently. · The entire fit AP wireless network solution consists of a wireless switch and fit AP on the basis of a wired network.

· "Zero Configuration" on fit AP, all configurations are concentrated on the wireless switch. This also makes the fit AP solution more convenient for centralized management, and thus has three-tier roaming, user-based permission distribution and other features not available for fat AP.
