Hi,
The manual is not very clear (at least to me!) regarding the difference between the different WDS modes of Bridge, Lazy and Repeater. Can someone explain these in more detail?

Bridge - is only to bridge the ethernet connection, you will have no connectivity via wireless
Lazy - where the unit will look for another unit that already has WDS enabled with the MAC address of the 3100SN entered into the connecting device eg router
Repeater - it bridges both the LAN conenction and wireless connection, so once set you will have LAN and Wireless connectivity.
I hope this helps.
