Morning, Cable connecting AP's. WPA2 Personnel Shared Key with AES algorithms same for both AP's. SSID again same for both machines, do not worry about hiding actually slows down network whilst achieving nothing. Different IP address, but on same subnet. i.e 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 with 255.255.255.0 this you can play to determine how many IP's you require to connect with AP's. http://www.subnet-calculator.com/
WDS can be utilised without cable connecting routers, but come with overheads approximately half bandwidth. Very simplified explanation, more information if required. Cheers! `RobD...
