Configuration as a network bridge (repeater)
When used at a distance from a LAN network with its own WLAN access point, mobile devices will be outside
the range of the wireless connection. The
wienet
access point is positioned within the range and takes on the
function of a network bridge between the mobile devices and the network with its own WLAN access point. For
the access point mode, the access point should make use of a second SSID that is independent from the first
main network. In addition, wired terminal devices can also be connected to the access point. A wired network
provides a better WLAN transmission rate, as the access point transmits and receives in both directions when
used as a WLAN repeater, thus halving the WLAN band width.
