| The wireless distribution system technology (WDS mode) is required to create a network connection over a wireless link between the access point and the repeater device. The IEEE 802.11-1999 standard defines WDS as a mechanism for constructing 802.11 frames using a 4-address format, however, it does not define how to implement it or how stations interact to arrange for exchanging frames of this format ((https:// | The wireless distribution system technology (WDS mode) is required to create a network connection over a wireless link between the access point and the repeater device.
