WLAN mesh services overview

WLAN mesh services allows an AP to provide wireless services to clients, without a wired interface on the AP. Instead
of a wired interface, there is a radio link to another AP with a wired interface.
WLAN mesh services can be used at sites, when running Ethernet cable to a location is inconvenient, expensive, or
impossible.
Note.
Figure 1 on page 282 shows how a client connects to a network using WLAN mesh services.
Power must be available at the location, where the Mesh AP is installed.
