Communication
In normal operation, the access point is used as an interface to a network and communicates
with clients. There are, however, situations in which several access points need to
communicate with each other, for example to extend wireless coverage or to set up a wireless
backbone. This mode is possible with WDS (Wireless Distributed System).
