So the available bandwidth is shared amongst all of the clients.

The drawback to WDS or mesh for that matter is that when you do single radio repeating you run into store and forward since 802.11 radios cannot send and recieve at the same time.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13036707 Tue, 29 Mar 2005 18:36:52 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13035272 nboxmedia : This is a good question. Is it divided per AP connected via WDS?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13035272 Tue, 29 Mar 2005 15:51:44 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13028643 ponline : This might be stupid but i have to ask
If one AP is feeding two other APs each in wds mode, none of them is used as regular access point, will the performance of the first AP be devided in half for each AP all the time, or its shared between both APs depending on bandwidth neads???]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13028643 Mon, 28 Mar 2005 20:30:08 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13026895 cmaenginsb : WDS in theory will be more stable because it is a part of the extended standard, bridging has always been funky because of the "voodoo" involved in making it work.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13026895 Mon, 28 Mar 2005 16:59:05 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13025904 nboxmedia : Which one is actually more stable, WDS or standard bridging?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13025904 Mon, 28 Mar 2005 15:02:24 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13015467 aSic : Thats actually how I understand it as well.

The bridge must keep track of all the MAC's, but the WDS just flows packets right?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13014330 Sat, 26 Mar 2005 22:41:42 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13000650 cmaenginsb : Are you just conecting one radio to another? If you aren't using either as a regular access point then WDS is just as fast as briding. WDS is only 1/2 the speed if you are using one of the radios as a regular AP at the same time.

Many of the low cost bridges cannot handle a lot of mac addresses in bridge mode, WDS doesn't have problems with this.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13000650 Fri, 25 Mar 2005 08:12:47 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13000409 shamanfk : It is a function of the software--how many MAC's a bridge can handle.

It is better to use bridges from a single vendor.

With Bridges do you have a bridge going to a AP or Bridge to Bridge?

I have used the Dlink & Linksys Bridges but they seem to only be able to bridge 1 PC (mac address)

Thanks

Bridging should be faster than WDS. When you enable
WDS your network throughput decreases by 50 % and should have 50% cell overlap.It is always good to use Wireless Bridges to bridge buildings
.

I have WDS setup to bridge two networks over a 1km link.
There are only to WDS Units in Total

If I ditched the WDS and went to a bridged system would this be faster?

I know lots of people say WDS is slow but I was thinking with only 2 AP's it would be as good as a bridge as it doesnt have to wait for more AP's to respond.

Any Idea's?

Thanks
