3.2 Configuring the Access Point
This Access Point supports Client, AP, Repeater and Bridge modes. “Client
Mode” is used to let a network device with only wired Ethernet function to
have wireless LAN communication capability. It provides both Ad Hoc and
Infrastructure modes for the “Station Mode”. With “Station-Ad Hoc mode”,
it can let your network device join a wireless LAN with peer-to-peer
communication. With “Station-Infrastructure mode”, it can let your network
device join a wireless LAN through an access point. “AP Mode” provides
pure access point function. The simplest way to build up a wireless LAN is
to use “AP Mode”. If you want an access point to bridge wired Ethernet
network and provide connection service for other wireless station at the
same time, you have to set the access point to “Repeater mode”. Simply
speaking, “Repeater mode” function is the combination of “AP mode” and
“PMP mode”. “AP Bridge Mode” provides the function to bridge more than
2 wired Ethernet networks together by wireless LAN. You can use two
access points with “P2P mode” to bridge two wired Ethernet networks
together. If you want to bridge more than two wired Ethernet networks
together, you have to use enough access points with “PMP mode”. An
access point with “P2P mode” or “PMP mode” can only be used to bridge
wired Ethernet networks together. It can’t accept connection from other
wireless station at the same time.
