Firstly, I would like to describe, what WDS actually is. WDS stands for Wireless Distribution System and was primarily designed for Roaming hotspot environments. Let’s take a scenario where a small hotel has to be covered in wireless signal, so that the guests may access the internet. In most cases like this, one wireless Access Point will not give the desired coverage needed, and thus, a second wireless Access point must be integrated into the solution. This does leave a major problem to be solved due to the fact that there are usually only two ways to get the two Access Points to communicate with each other, the first being to cable the two Access Points together with CAT5 networking cable, and the second being

to run Wireless bridges in between the two Access Points. Neither of these solutions are very viable due to both of them adding extra costs and hassles to an otherwise “simple” installation. The best way to solve a problem such as this is WDS, which is a means of getting both of these Access Points to communicate with each other and the clients at the same time.

So, the purpose of this document is to show you how to set up two or more Access Points (Using MikroTik), to talk to each other, and broadcast a signal to wireless clients at the same time.
