In the WDS mode, do not set any mixed modes, for example, WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK. 
  WDS Bridge Mode 
In the Bridge mode, you can use the GR-124W to connect to your router, for 
extending wireless coverage. Meanwhile, it can also decrease the working load of the 
AP that accesses the Internet. In that case, the wireless card does not directly 
communicate with the wireless device that accesses the Internet, but it directly 
communicates with the GR-124W. 
 
 
Step1 On the Basic Wireless Settings page, select the WDS mode to be Bridge 
Mode.  
						

							 
77 
 
 
Step2 On the Basic Wireless Settings page, set the physical mode and the 
encryption type of AP to accord with that of peer AP, and then enter the 
MAC address of the peer AP. After finishing the settings, click the Apply 
button to apply the settings. The GR-124W will work in the Bridge mode. 
Step3 On this page, set the security mode of the GR-124W to accord with the 
peer AP. 
 
Note:  
						

							 
78 
In the WDS mode, do not set any mixed modes, for example, WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK. 
 
  WDS Lazy Mode   
In the Lazy mode, the GR-124W automatically connects to the WDS devices that use 
the same SSID, channel, encryption mode, and physical mode. You do not need to 
manually enter other MAC addresses of peer APs. 
 
 
Step1 On the Basic Wireless Settings page, set the WDS mode to be Lazy 
Mode, set the physical mode and the encryption type of AP to accord with 
that of peer AP, and then enter the MAC address of peer AP. After 
finishing the settings, click the Apply button to apply the settings. The 
GR-124W will work in the Lazy mode. 
Step2 On this page, set the security mode of the GR-124W to accord with the 
peer AP. 
 
Note: 
In the WDS mode, do not set any mixed modes, for example, WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK.  
						

							 
79 
Do not set all the WDS APs to be Lazy mode, please ensure that at least one WDS 
AP acts as Root Bridge, and enter the MAC addresses in the WDS table on the 
Basic Wireless Settings page. 
  Establishing a Network by WDS Bridge Mode 
The following description shows how to use the WDS bridge modes of two devices to 
establish a network. You may add more devices to establish a network. 
Suppose that there are two APs. One is AP1, the other is AP2. Enable the DHCP 
server of AP1 and AP2. 
 
 
The following table shows the settings of AP1 and AP2. 
 
 
- Set AP1 
Step1 Enter http://192.168.1.1 in the IE address bar, and then enter the user 
name (by default, admin) and the password (by default, admin) to log in 
to the Web page. 
Step2 On the
 Basic Wireless Settings page, set the WDS mode to be Bridge 
Mode, and enter the MAC address of the AP2.
  
						

							 
80 
  
 
Step3 Set the SSID of AP1. AP1 and AP2 must use the same SSID and channel. 
  
Step4 On the Wireless Security /Encryption Settings page, disable the 
security mode.  
						

							 
81 
   
 
Step5 Click Internet > LAN to display the Local Area Network (LAN) Settings 
page. Set the IP address of AP1 to be 192.168.1.1. 
  
 
Step6 Click Administration > Statistics to display the Statistic page. On this 
page, you can view the information of WDS AP, such as MAC address, 
and the number of transmitted frames. 
- Set AP2  
						

							 
82 
Step1 Click Internet > LAN to display the Local Area Network (LAN) Settings 
page. Set the IP address of AP2 to be 192.168.1.2. 
  
 
Step2 On the Basic Wireless Settings page, set the WDS mode to be Bridge 
Mode and enter the MAC address of the AP1.
