A WDS link between two units can be configured in any of the following
Operation Mode combinations:
1. Both units in a link are configured as Gateway Mode.
2. One unit in a link is configured in Gateway Mode and the other in Bridge
Mode.
3. Both units in a link are configured as Bridge Mode.
When two or more units in the WDS network are set to Gateway Mode, be
sure to check these settings:
◆ Be sure each unit is configured with a different LAN IP address.
◆ Be sure that only one unit has an Internet access on its WAN port.
◆ Be sure the DHCP server is enabled only on one unit. When one unit is
providing Internet access, enable the DHCP server on that unit.
