The Wireless Distribution System (WDS) allows access points to connect wirelessly within an IEEE 802.11 network. This system expands a wireless network through multiple access points without needing a wired backbone. One key advantage of WDS is that it preserves the MAC addresses of client frames when transmitting between access points. | The Wireless Distribution System (WDS) allows access points to connect wirelessly within an IEEE 802.11 network.
