The Wireless Router package consists of two TurboTenna 007GTs, two matching RF cables and two Buffalo WBR2-G54s wireless router/ bridge. WDS (Wireless Distribution System) is a feature which allows two WBR2-G54S wireless routers to operate in a repeater mode. Apart from extending the ISP broadband service from your location hundred feet away by setting WDS in a 'hub to hub' (dedicated repeater mode), you can also build a remote hotspot using the 'hub to spoke' (bridging) configuration.

As you'd expect, each TurboTenna 007GT is connected to a wireless router using the RF cable beaming at one another. Make sure that the WDS feature of the two wireless are turned on in such a way that a wireless link is established between them. How can they identify and recognize each other as a partner pair? The key is that they know each other's device MAC addresses, so any other alien wireless router cannot barge in even if they tune to the same frequency channel.

If WDS dedicated repeater mode is enabled, then wireless clients cannot connect to any of the wireless routers in the wireless distribution system. This option is used when a dedicated wireless repeater is needed linking wired networks.

If WDS dedicated repeater mode is disabled, it becomes a bridging mode which allows wireless clients to connect to any of the wireless routers in the wireless distribution system.

The magic of the TurboTenna 007GT is pretty obvious. As shown in the diagram here, it boosts the signal from about -68dbm to -50dbm when the TurboTenna 007GT is in use. Not only does it increase the signal source by 18db, you can also see that the signal quality at -50dBm is more steady and stable.
