  • Page 5: Overview

    OVERVIEW Your device can function in four different modes. AP Mode is a regular access point for use in your wireless network. This is the default mode of the access point. Repeater Mode is a wireless repeater (also called wireless range extender) that takes an existing signal from a wireless router or wireless access point and rebroadcasts it to create a second network.
