How to configure WDS Bridging on the MERCUSYS Wireless AC Router Manual Image

A Wireless Distribution System (WDS) is a system that enables the wireless interconnection of access points in a wireless network. It allows a router’s wireless network to be expanded using multiple access points without the need for a wire to connect them, as is traditionally required.

1. LAN IP of extended router should be different but in the same subnet of the root router;

2. The DHCP Server on extended router should be disabled;

3. WDS bridging only requires the WDS setting on either the root router or the extended router, on either 2.4GHz or 5GHz; No need to setup this up on both sides or bands.

Please follow the steps below to set it up:

1. Access the web management page. If you are not sure about how to do this, please click
