"Note: The WDS feature is not completely specified in IEEE or Wifi
standards. Therefore interoperability between 802.11 products of different
vendors is not guaranteed."

Also...

"Wireless Distribution System (WDS) allows you to make a completely
wireless
infrastructure. Normally, the access points must be connected with a wire
(LAN). These access points create cells allowing a wireless connection. The
WDS feature allows the access points to be wirelessly connected. This
feature is normally used in large, open areas where pulling a wire is
restricted or not cost effective and in residential circumstances.

In a setup where there no wireless router, only a WAP, is only the first
one
connected to the wired side of the LAN?  Or can I have them all on the
wired
LAN and still use the WDS feature?
