WLAN Configuration
Expanding WLAN Coverage
To expand WLAN coverage, use the wireless distribution system (WDS) to set up a wireless
connection between two WS319 devices.
For example, if your house is too large to be fully covered by the WLAN provided by one WS319
device, add another WS319 device and set up a wireless connection between these two devices
using the WDS. The WLAN coverage is then expanded.
While setting up the wireless connection between the two WS319 devices, configure the devices
to use the same radio channel, WLAN name, encryption method, and encryption key.
