Yeah natively WDS cannot support WPA. OpenWRT and Apple baked their own versions of WDS to support it. I doubt they’d work cross-vendors though.

Yes, same ssid, same channel.

We had to replace dead some equipment there and I had the tech give both Picos the same SSID as the primary access point which is how I understood it was supposed to work. Now the campground manager is saying that some of her customers can't connect to the internet and they used to be able to connect to APs with different SSIDs and the Picos are dropping off line. Am I correct that all the radios need the same SSID? Yes, we are going to eventually modernize this site.
