Provided are a procedure of setting up a peer link in wireless mesh networks and a wireless station supporting the procedure. In the procedure, a mesh point (MP) transmits first peer link open frame regarding the peer link to a candidate peer MP. The first peer link open frame includes high throughput capabilities information element and high throughput operation information element. And, the mesh point receives first peer link confirmation frame regarding the peer link from the candidate peer MP in response to the first peer link open frame. And, the mesh point transmits second peer link confirmation frame regarding the peer link to the candidate peer MP after receiving second peer link open frame received from the candidate peer MP. In this case, the peer link confirmation frame may also include high throughput capabilities information element and high throughput operation element.
