have been defined in the
Network > LAN section, the Interface name will also appear
here.

Access Point
- An Access Point may provide a wireless data
connection to many clients, such as stations, repeaters, or
other supported wireless devices such as laptops etc.
If more than 1 Virtual Interface (more than 1 SSID) has been
defined, the IPn4G can
ONLY
operate as a Access Point, and
will be locked into this mode.

Station/Client
- A Station may sustain one wireless connection, i.e. to an Access Point.
Repeater
- A Repeater can be connected to an Access Point to extend the range and provide
a wireless data connection to many clients, such as stations.
Mesh Point -
Units can be configured as a Mesh “Node”. When multiple units are configured
as a Mesh node, they automatically establish a network between each other. SSID for each
radio in a Mesh network must be the same.
This setting determines the rate at which the data is to be
wirelessly transferred.
The default is ‘Auto’ and, in this configuration, the unit will
transfer data at the highest possible rate in consideration of the
receive signal strength (RSSI).
Setting a specific value of transmission rate has the benefit of
‘predictability’ of that rate, but if the RSSI drops below the
required minimum level to support that rate, communications will
fail.
