WAC6552D-S - WDS traffic passthrough

Team_Elbo

Good afternoon all,

So, here is what I am trying to do: I want to use the WDS as a LAN extension, not a WiFi extension. AP 1 would be at the main office and then connect to AP 2 at a different building and pass traffic along the wireless bridge. However I cannot find any documentation on how to make this happen. If I set the APs to anything other than Root and Repeater the WDS bridge no longer works.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Is this your network topology as below?

-----WAC65502D-S(1)<Root AP> ))) WDS ((( WAC65502D-S(2)<Repeater AP> (LAN port) ----- other devices

Hi @Team_Elbo

Welcome to ZYXEL forum.

It seems your scenario is close to livealive's description. If so, just want to confirm one more thing with you. The AP is in standalone mode or managed by NXC/Nebula?

If it is managed by Nebula, the bridge mode for the repeater AP will be supported in June this year.
