Description
AP
You can set the device to work in AP mode. This is the most common
mode for all wireless APs. In this mode, the AP will act as a central
connection point which other wireless clients can connect to.
AP-Client
This mode provides a one-to-many MAC address mapping mechanism
such that multiple stations behind the AP can transparently connect to the
other AP even if they don
’t support WDS
Client
In this mode, the AP functions as a wireless client to connect your wired
devices to a wireless network. This mode provides no access point
services but supports 802.1X.
Bridge
This mode provides static LAN-to-LAN bridging functionality. The static
LAN-to-LAN bridging function is supported through Wireless Distribution
System (WDS).
