Introduction
What is AP+Bridge mode Functionality?
Wireless station can only associated with device in access point mode. If a device is configured in bridge/repeater mode it means the other peer is another bridge/
repeater not a wireless station. ZyXEL implement a new feature letting the Access point & bridge/repeater function mixed in the same device.
In AP+Bridge mode, the ZyAIR G-5100 support both AP(the wireless station can connect to the wired network through AP) and bridge(two APs can communicate
with one another) connection at the same time.
Note: When the ZyAIR G-5100 is in AP+Bridge mode, the traffic between ZyAIRs(WDS) is not encrypted. The security settings on the ZyAIR refer to the traffic
between the wireless station and the ZyAIR.
