Wifi Distributing System

A wireless distribution system (WDS) is a system enabling the wireless bridging of access points in an IEEE 802 network. It allows an extended network to be created using wireless IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) access points without the traditional requirement for wires to link them.

The notable advantage of WDS over other solutions is that it preserves the MAC addresses of client frames across links between access points, thus mixtures of ethernet and WDS connections can be treated as a single network.

Windows Deployment Services is a server role that gives administrators the ability to deploy Windows operating systems remotely.

WDS can be used for network-based installations to set up new computers so administrators do not have to directly install each operating system (OS).

A wireless distribution system (WDS) is a method of interconnecting access points in a wireless local area network (WLAN), whether or not they are connected through a backbone wired network.All base stations in a wireless distribution system must be configured to use the same radio channel, method of encryption (none, WEP, WPA or WPA2) and the same encryption keys. They may be configured to different service set identifiers (SSIDs). WDS also requires every base station to be configured to forward to others in the system.
