Conference Room (LAN 1), and another Ethernet-wired access point serving stations in
the West Wing offices (LAN 2). You can bridge the Conference Room and West Wing access
points with a WDS link to create a single network for clients in both areas.
Using WDS to extend the network beyond the wired coverage area
An ESS can extend the reach the network into areas where cabling would be difficult, costly,
or inefficient.
For example, suppose you have an access point which is connected to the network by
Ethernet and serving multiple client stations in one area (“East Wing - LAN 1" in our
example) but cannot reach others which are out of range. Suppose also that it is too difficult
or too costly to wire the distant area with Ethernet cabling. You can solve this problem
