Interesting. I had never really looked into wds since I didn't need all the functions. I guess that and I was used to ethernet and you just bridged it there which basically equates to pseudobridge. That and the older cpe's we used you just selected bridge which would be the equivalent (sort of?) of pseudo. But either way my reasoning was for those customers, mainly businesses, which it was better to route to their hardware and the public ip was there instead of the cpe.
