For more than information virtually WDS, please refer to Wikipedia. The instruction below is a solution for SOHO WDS connection.

In guild to build a successful WDS connection between different devices, it requires thatboth devices usethe same wireless MAC address format.For example,Site A uses 4-address MAC Address format in passive WDS span mode,Site B also uses 4-address MAC Address format in active WDS bridge mode.

WDS may be incompatible between different products (even occasionally from the aforementioned vendor) since the IEEE 802.xi-1999 standard does non ascertain how to construct any such implementations or how stations interact to arrange for exchanging frames of this format. ----- From Wikipedia
