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) enables access points to connect wirelessly within an IEEE 802.11 network, acting as a Layer 2 bridge, allowing the expansion of the wireless network through multiple access points without requiring a wired backbone. A key advantage of WDS is that it preserves the MAC addresses of client frames when transmitting between access points.

This article provides a detailed configuration example for a basic WDS setup with two RUTxxx devices.
