8.8.7 Wireless Distribution System (WDS)

The ZyXEL Device can act as a wireless network bridge and establish WDS

(Wireless Distribution System) links with other APs. You need to know the MAC

addresses of the APs you want to link to. Once the security settings of peer sides

match one another, the connection between devices is made.

At the time of writing, WDS security is compatible with other ZyXEL access points

only. Refer to your other access point’s documentation for details.

The following figure illustrates how WDS link works between APs. Notebook

computer A is a wireless client connecting to access point AP 1. AP 1 has no

wired Internet connection, but it can establish a WDS link with access point AP 2,

which has a wired Internet connection. When AP 1 has a WDS link with AP 2, the

notebook computer can access the Internet through AP 2.

8.8.8 WiFi Protected Setup (WPS)

Your ZyXEL Device supports WiFi Protected Setup (WPS), which is an easy way to

set up a secure wireless network. WPS is an industry standard specification,

defined by the WiFi Alliance.

WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without

having to configure security settings manually. Each WPS connection works

between two devices. Both devices must support WPS (check each device’s

documentation to make sure).

Depending on the devices you have, you can either press a button (on the device

itself, or in its configuration utility) or enter a PIN (a unique Personal Identification

Number that allows one device to authenticate the other) in each of the two

devices. When WPS is activated on a device, it has two minutes to find another

device that also has WPS activated. Then, the two devices connect and set up a

secure network by themselves.
