The application for the WDS-Repeater mode is depicted as below:
The major difference between these two modes is that: while in
Repeater
mode, the packets
received from one peer AP can be repeated to another peer AP through WDS links. Yet in
Bridge
mode, packets received from a WDS link will only be forwarded to local wired or
wireless hosts. In other words, only Repeater mode can do WDS-to-WDS packet forwarding.
In the following examples, hosts connected to Bridge 1 or 3 can communicate with hosts
connected to Bridge 2 through WDS links. However, hosts connected to Bridge 1 CANNOT
communicate with hosts connected to Bridge 3 through Bridge 2.
