WDS configuration for WAC510
Greetings, I have read the latest user manual for the WAC510. I have read the various "How To" links in the kb I have upgraded my three WAC510's to the latest firmware: V9.5.4.2 I hav...
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.

Greetings RaghuHR ,
Thank you for your WDS with 3 APs document. The diagrams call out the various cases nicely.
For clarity on properly configuring WDS using the local device web interface using the Wireless Bridge page the field named "Wireless Network Name (SSID)" where the default name is given as Netgear-WDS-x where x is 1, 2, 3 or 4 is in fact the SSID for the Bridge Network referenced by WDS-1, WDS-2 in your diagram, right?
That name for WDS-1 and WDS-2 are unique, right? And not to be re-used or can they be named the same? This is never called out explicitly in any of the How To or the User Manual.
Thanks again and have a great day.

Yes, and yes on both points. Each WDS link must have it's own dedicated SSID, different from the "production" SSIDs. Enjoy!
