airMAX - Configure a Wi-Fi access point cluster in AP WDS repeater 
mode

August 13, 2015 13:44

Overview

Readers will learn how to configure radios in a PtP "repeater" mode topology. This goes by 

many different names like WDS Repeater, Repeater Setup, Repeater Bridge, etc. Basically, 

two or more Access Points work together to extend a wireless network. The caveat to this 

repeater mode is an added degree of instability (especially as the number of Repeater APs 

increases) and a decrease in throughput by 50% per hop.
