-WDS is a relatively old protocol to establish direct wireless connectivity between APs where the usage of a physical calble is not possible. As of 2022, using WDS is not recommended however it cans still help in some peculiar scenarios. WDS also is vendor-dependent and might not benefit from the full intra-device airtime bandwidth. Also please remember that currently trunking over WDS is not supported, this means that to extend SSID/VLAN from AP1 to AP2 would work only for e.g. br0. If you were to extend the secondary SSID/VLAN you would need to use a secondary radio (e.g. 5GHz). So 1 WDS link = 1 VLAN (max).+  * WDS is a relatively old protocol to establish direct wireless connectivity between APs where the usage of a physical cable isn'possible. While the use of WDS is unrecommended since 2022, WDS can still be helpful in certain, less common scenarios.

 +  * Finally, remember that currentlytrunking over WDS is not supported. Thus, to extend an SSID/VLAN from AP1 to AP2 would work only for one bridge (such as "br0"). If you wanted to extend the secondary SSID/VLANyou would need to use a secondary radio (such as 5GHz interface). \\ In other words, 1 WDS link = 1 VLAN (max).
