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.
