What is multiple WDS bridge Functionality?
A multiple Distribution System(DS) is a wired connection between two or more APs. While a Wireless Distribution System(WDS) is a wireless connection. The ZyAIR G-3000 support multiple WDS, providing a cost-effective solution for wireless network expansion.
The ZyAIR G-3000 can function as a wireless network bridge and establish up to six wireless links with other APs.
The ZyAIR G-3000 can function as wireless network bridge allowing you to wirelessly connect up to 6 wired network segments. You need to know the MAC address of the peer device, which also must be in bridge/repeater mode.
