I have successfully configured the "Base Station" unit to bridge with one of the "Repeater" units. Works great and really helps with the desired WiFi coverage.
It was my understanding that I could configure up to four "Repeater" units. Currently only one "Repeater" unit has come online
Hi Christoper
Yes, you can configure four WDS Clients to form a WDS system with up to five APs.. However all four need to be linked direct to the WDS Base Station.

I get the attached error message when I attempt to configure the second "Repeater" unit. Dialog box with "This radio already has a WDS client configured. More than one WDS client not supported on same radio. OK"
Based on the "This radio already has a WDS client configured. More than one WDS client not supported on same radio. OK" I suspect you try to from some kind of daisy chain config, what is not possible.
Should this message be shown on the WDS Base Station while attempting to configure the second WDS Client, it looks a bug.

I get this message on the Base Station while attempting to configure the bridge to the second client.
I am able to successfully connect a bridge between the Base Station and the first client.
I am not trying to form a daisy chain topology.
I want the Base Station to connect to four clients in a point to multi-point topology as spoken of in documentation.
RaghuHR - looks like some Web UI checks go wrong while adding a second (or more) WPA Base Station. The WPA system does support up to for WPA repeaters/clients, without a requirement to reside on different radious (what will be difficult, condidering these and many siilar WAC or WAX don't have four radios.
Hi CTGriffin
We are selecting Root in WDS based on the MAC address of the AP. Hence, when an AP is acting as Repeater, and if you are trying to configure WDS where the MAC address is greater than the device MAC address, we are showing the message "This radio already has a WDS client configured. More than one WDS client not supported on same radio."
You try to establish WDS in another radio, as an alternative method.
Please find the document attached, for establishing WDS between 3 APs, in the same radio.
Hope this helps.
