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.
