Introduction
1.1 Overview
The WX3401-B0 can function as a Repeater or an Access Point (AP).
Set your WX3401-B0 as an
AP
if you already have a router in your network and you want to bridge a
wired network (LAN) and another LAN or wireless LAN (WLAN) in the same subnet. If the WX3401-B0 has a
wired uplink connection, it is in AP mode.
Set your WX3401-B0 as a
Repeater
if you want to connect an existing wireless network through another
Access Point and also provide network connection to wireless clients. In this mode, the WX3401-B0 can
be an access point and a wireless client at the same time. If the WX3401-B0 has a wireless uplink
connection, it is in RP mode.
