• Hide SSID in Beacon - This is an option for the activation/deactivation of visibility.
• WDS Access Point - This selection shows whether this access point is part of a WDS (Wireless Distribution System). A WDS is a method for extending the reach of a network of access points by making some of them dependent on others.
