Interconnects, so-called, Basic Service Sets (BSS). A BSS is best compared to a
"Cell", driven by a single Access Point (one of those circles in the diagram below). So a "Distribution System" connects cells in order to build a premise wide network which allows users of mobile equipment to roam and stay connected to the available network resources.
A distribution system can be Wired (typically Ethernet), or Wireless (using the radio device inside the Access Point). The following diagram shows a wired distribution system. (fig 1)

If no cable is used but the connection between the APs is established using radio signal, a wireless distribution system is created as shown in fig 2.

• Flexible. Expanding an existing wired infrastructure network by adding coverage for office space that is not adjacent to the existing office can be easily achieved, providing great flexibility.
This setup assumes that there are two CWR-854 routers, router 1 and 2.
Router 1
1. When
in the router's configuration, select Basic setup and click on the wireless
tab. Please note that routers in a distribution system have to operate
on the same channel but their ESSID can be different.
2. Enable "Distribution System" and type MAC address of Router
2 in the "Peer AP MAC Address 1" field, and then click on the
"apply" button.
Router
2
1. When in the
router's configuration, select Basic setup and click on the wireless tab.
Please note that routers in a distribution system have to operate on the
same channel but their ESSID can be different.
2. Enable "Distribution System" and type MAC address of Router
1 in the "Peer AP MAC Address 1" field, and then click on the
"apply" button.
3. Select the DHCP tab and disable DHCP function
for Router 2 then click on "apply" button.
4. WDS setting is completed now.
