What's the difference between WDS and relay? Please, everybody. Thanks
For example, I put a AP in a, and there is a client in C, a distance of 120 meters, from a to C signal has weakened a lot, so I in the middle of 60 meters B put a AP relay, so that the signal C client can effective enhancement, ensure the transmission speed and stability. Is the bridge to link the two endpoints, the realization of the two wireless AP data transmission, to connect the two wired LAN, generally selected by AP to the bridge, for example, I have a 15 computer components of the wired LAN in a, B is a 25 computer composed of a line of LAN. But ab points a long distance, more than 100 meters, has not been possible through a wired connection, so how to put the two LANs connected together? This requires setting a AP at the A and B points to turn on the AP bridging function so that the AB LAN can transmit data to each other.
There are usually the following applications: bridging two LANs in a wireless connection, extending the coverage of WLANs, Vigor wireless routers can implement the above two modes, one is bridging, and the other is relay. The so-called relay is to amplify the wireless signal between two wireless points, so that the remote client can receive more powerful wireless signals.
WDS (Wireless, Distribution, System) wireless distributed system is a wireless connection of two access points (AP) protocol. In the whole WDS wireless network, multiple AP are connected by bridge or repeater, so that the whole local area network is wireless.
