Virtual Server is a kind of technology which enables a computer to receive specialized packets from network. It is to assign a certain host to act as a link between inner LAN and outside Web, FTP server. Virtual DMZ provides an all-port-match function, which grants specified computers unlimited authority to get access to network resources. The difference between Virtual Server and Virtual DMS lies on the ports they enable respectively: Virtual Server just open serveral ports while Virtual DMZ open all ports to the network.
Click Virtual Server in NAT Setting folder to open the NAT configuration page.
Select Yes to enable virtual server. For example, host 192.168.1.100 is set as virtual server with its ports 20,21 (FTP) accessible to outside users. Therefore, FTP requests from outside users would be forwarded to the host.

6) Setting up WDS
Wireless  bridge,  also  known  as  Wireless  Distribution  System  or  WDS,  allows connection  to  one  or  more  access  points.  We  now  take  an  example  to  show  how to  setup  WDS  for  two  APs.  In  this  example,  AP1,  with  MAC  address  of  00:0E:A6:A1:3F:6E  and  IP  address  of  192.168.1.1,  will  operate  in  “Hybrid“  mode;  AP2,  with MAC  address  of  00:0E:A6:A1:3F:87  and  IP  address  of  192.168.1.2,  will  also  be  set to  “Hybrid“  mode,  but  it  would  not  assign  IP  addresses  to  clients.  Only  one  DHCP server in the WDS system is allowed, that is AP1 in this example.

First, we are to set up AP1. Choose Bridge in the Wireless folder.
Set the SSID as WL520g and WEP Encryption as None. We suggest AP1 and AP2 using the same SSID.
Select WAN & LAN in the IP Config folder.
Confirm that the IP address of AP1 is 192.168.1.1.
Enter the Bridge page again. 
Select Hybrid as AP mode. Thus, AP1 will be both AP and WDS. If you want to use wireless function only, please choose WDS Only.

Select a fixed channel for WDS. In this example, we set it as Channel 3.
When you choose WDS or Hybrid mode, you will see a message demanding a fixed channel for WDS.
