    Hi
    I am using Netgear wireless router WGR614l with Tomato firmware as Access Point.
    Could anybody tell me about WDS and Wireless Client topology? What should be the configuration and set up to use it in wireless mode WDS or Wireless Client? :confused:

    WDS allows the use of multiple AP to talk to each other. Wireless Client is the card you have in your NB or a Gaming connection.

    1. Select the wireless mode as WDS.
    2. Specify the MAC address of the AP with wihich you want to associate wgr614l
    3. save the setting.

    You will need to follow the same steps for the second AP also.
