The Access Point can be configured in four different modes:
The Access Point mode allows wireless clients to
connect to the access point and routes traffic between the wireless and
wired interface. Use this mode to create a standard wireless
Infrastructure network. For instructions, click here.
The Access Point Client mode allows this device to
act as a wireless client. You can connect a wired PC to the access point
to connect to a wireless router or another access point wirelessly. You
can enter the MAC address of the Access Point or use the Site Survey button to select the Access Point you want to connect.
