Description
This mode allows wireless clients to connect to access point and exchange
data with the devices connected to the wired network.
Mesh Root – VigorAP must connect to a gateway with an Ethernet cable.
Mesh Node – VigorAP can connect to other mesh root via wireless
connection. A mesh network creates one set of links automatically and
calculates the most optimal wireless path through the wireless network
back to a wired mesh root.
VigorAP can act as a wireless repeater which will help you to extend the
networking wirelessly. The access point can act as Station and AP at the
same time. It can use Station function to connect to a Root AP and use AP
function to service all wireless clients within its coverage.
