OVERVIEW 

 

Your access point can function in two different modes. 
 
The default mode for your access point is 

AP mode

 

AP mode

 is a regular access point for use in your wireless network. 

 

Managed AP mode

 acts as a “slave” AP within the AP array (controlled by the 

AP Controller “master”).
