SSID Enter an appropriate name for the new WDS link you have created. This SSID should be
different from the other SSIDs used by this AP. However, it is important that the same SSID
is also entered at the other end of the WDS link. If this SSID is not the same for both APs on
the WDS link, they will not be able to communicate and exchange data.
The SSID can be any alphanumeric combination.
Key Enter a unique shared key for the WDS bridge. This unique shared key must also be
entered for the AP at the other end of the WDS link. If this key is not the same for both APs,
they will not be able to communicate and exchange data.
The WPA-PSK key is a string of at least 8 characters to a maximum of 63 characters.
Acceptable characters include upper and lower case alphabetic letters, the numeric digits,
and special symbols such as @ and #.

to save the settings. Changing some settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system
processes. If this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that
you change AP settings when WLAN trafc is low.
