Abstract
A method for a establishing wireless distribution system link between two access points includes the steps of: providing an input module for each access point; receiving a first input to enter a master mode by an input module of a first access point, and transmitting a broadcast frame by the first access point; receiving a second input to enter a slave mode by an input module of a second access point, and scanning the broadcast frame by the second access point; transmitting a request frame from the second access point to the first access point; and transmitting an acknowledgement frame from the first access point to the second access point. An access point relating to the method is also provided.
