Can router be WDS controller?

[macsteelusa]

Hello,

I heard that most of router has the ability of supporting WDS as being WDS controller.

If so, does it require special moudle(or code) to support this feature?

For example I have 2800 series router and two Aironet 1300 outdoor APs. What I wanted to do is to setup 2800 as WDS controller and 1300s to be peers.

Is this possible?

Thanks.

No it cannot. It can run wds, but not be the controller.
