SETTING UP WDS BETWEEN 2 AP's:
At the end you will have 2 AP's that bridge clients between each other. You can either connect to the wireless on either AP or plug straight into the network ports to get connectivity. You could apply the firewall reversal scripts to firewall the WAN port and connect it to your private LAN and setup static routes and forwarding rules if you are connecting this device to a mesh.
