network traffic wirelessly and through its four
LAN ports, and communicates via its WAN port
to an ADSL modem, cable modem, or other
Internet-connected device.

LAN ports to up to four game stations or
computers, and links them wirelessly to a
Zoom X6 or other wireless router.

Note:
The AP+4 can act as a Repeater in
either Universal Repeater mode (see below) or
WDS mode. Most users who want to configure
the AP+4 as a repeater should choose
Universal Repeater mode, because it is easier
to set up than a WDS network and it provides
better performance. (See above).
