WDS link is down on root and repeater AP

Seafood4847PUPU · September 2017

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to connect WiFi in a scenario where one AP is Root AP and other 3 APs are repeater AP.
All APs are NWA1123-ACv2.

We have done the configuration that created WDS profile on Root AP and repeater AP but WDS link is not coming up.

Please kindly help check if any changes required.

Hi @Seafood4847PUPU ,

The WDS SSID and Pre-Shared Key must set the same between root AP and repeater.

Confirm the radio channel is fixed in the same channel between root AP and repeater AP.
For your case, you might need to set the root AP mac address in the repeater AP.
There is a FAQ can help you.

If you still has the problem, please send me the configuration.

I think the root cause is that I did not use the same WDS profile name , I used "Zyxel_WDS" for repeater AP , but used "ZyXEL_WDS" for root AP, so it's caused by WDS link can not be created.
Thanks for your great help.
