One more gotcha. WDS bridging and WPA encryption are mutually
exclusive in most routers because WDS can only handle static
encryption keys. The best you can do in WDS bridging mode is WEP,
which is not at all secure. If you're worried about security, make
sure your WDS bridge can do WPA in WDS mode. I couldn't find any data
sheet pages that specifically claim that their product does this.

WDS setup won't work when using WPA Enterprise
