Encryption support over WDS varies from vendor to vendor. If the vendor didn't include support for WPA2, you're out of luck.

Keep in mind both ends of the WDS link have to support the same encryption.

Also, WDS by design doesn't work with encryption schemes that use a rotating key (like WPA or WPA2). If a vendor supports WPA/WPA2, it means they are probably fudging things by never renewing the key, effectively reducing security (and being incompatible with anyone else that properly follow standards).

Why not try universal repeater mode?
