Step 3 and for is not totaly clear for me.
If I do this:
3. Create wds interface on AP and add the interface to the bridge in WinBox
I don's see the wds1 in the wireless tables.

To make a transparent wireless bridge do the following:

on one sextant set the mode to Bridge

on the other set the mode to station-bridge

on both ends add a bridge and put the eth and the wlan in the bridge

if you want to pick up an IP for management add a dhcp client to the bridge interface
or set a static IP on the bridge

Hope that helps

Nick.
