Use the max-distance command to set the maximum link distance, in meters, between APs that participate in a WDS. This value ensures that the acknowledgement of communication between APs does not exceed the timeout value predefined by the 802.11 standard. If the link distance between APs is greater than the default value of 100 meters, configure the maximum distance up to 15,000 meters so that the software increases the timeout value proportionally with the distance between APs. The max-distance command is accessible from most radio contexts of the CLI.
Do not change the default setting for any radio that is not participating in a Mesh or WDS.
| value | Specifies the maximum distance between APs in meters. The default is 100 meters. You can enter a value from 100 to 15000 meters. |
The following example sets the maximum distance between APs to 1500 meters:
