7.7 The WDS Screen
An AP using the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) can function as a wireless network bridge
allowing you to wirelessly connect two wired network segments. The WDS screen allows you to
configure the VMG to connect to two or more APs wirelessly when WDS is enabled.
Use this screen to set up your WDS (Wireless Distribution System) links between the VMG and
other wireless APs. You need to know the MAC address of the peer device. Once the security
settings of peer sides match one another, the connection between devices is made.
Note: WDS security is independent of the security settings between the VMG and any
wireless clients.
Note: At the time of writing, WDS is compatible with other ZyXEL APs only. Not all models
support WDS links. Check your other AP’s documentation.
Click Network Setting > Wireless > WDS. The following screen displays.

LABEL DESCRIPTION
WMM Select On to have the VMG automatically give a service a priority level according to the ToS
value in the IP header of packets it sends. WMM QoS (Wifi MultiMedia Quality of Service)
gives high priority to voice and video, which makes them run more smoothly.

Select this option to extend the battery life of your mobile devices (especially useful for
small devices that are running multimedia applications). The VMG goes to sleep mode to
save power when it is not transmitting data. The AP buffers the packets sent to the VMG
until the VMG "wakes up". The VMG wakes up periodically to check for incoming data.
Note: Note: This works only if the wireless device to which the VMG is connected also
supports this feature.
