8.1 Operating Modes
The Netwave Radio can operate in the following modes:
1. Access Point WDS
2. Station (Client) WDS
In a commonly used setup, the WAN port of an access point connects to a modem via an Ethernet
cable. A modem can be a cable, digital subscriber line (DSL), or fiber optic modem. A modem
translates the signal from the internet service provider (ISP) to Ethernet signals that the access
point can understand. This allows the access point to have internet connection.
Other devices called stations connect wirelessly to this access point. These devices can be
mobile phones, printers, IP cameras, laptops, or even other routers. The stations obtain internet
connection from the access point.
An access point WDS and a station WDS together extend the wireless coverage, like a repeater.
