WDS Settings
This section displays if you set the
Operating Mode
to
AP+Bridge
or
Bridge/Repeater
. Configure the security settings for the
NWA3000-N series AP’s Wireless Distribution System (WDS), the
wireless connection between two or more APs.
Select
No Security
to not encrypt the traffic between APs.
Note: WDS security is independent of the security settings
between the NWA3000-N series AP and any wireless
clients.
Select
TKIP (ZyAIR Series Compatible)
to enable Temporal Key
Integrity Protocol (TKIP) security on your WDS. This option is
compatible with other ZyXEL access points that support WDS
security. Use this if the other access points on your network support
WDS security but do not have an AES option.
Note: Check your other AP’s documentation to make sure it
supports WDS security.
Select
AES
to enable Advanced Encryption System (AES) security on
your WDS. AES provides superior security to TKIP. Use AES if the
other access points on your network support it for the WDS.
Note: At the time of writing, this option is compatible with other
ZyXEL NWA access points only.
When you enable WDS security, for each access point in your WDS
enter the AP’s MAC address and a pre-shared key. Each access point
can use a different pre-shared key. Configure WDS security and the
relevant PSK in each of your other access point(s).
Note: Other APs must use the same encryption method to
enable WDS security.
