    The ENH1750EXT has the ability to operate in various modes. This chapter describes the operating modes of the ENH1750EXT. Access Point Mode In Access Point Mode, ENH1750EXT behaves likes a central connection for stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11ac/a/b/ g/n networks. The stations and clients must be configured to use the same SSID (Service Set Identifier) and security password to associate with the ENH1750EXT. The ENH1750EXT supports up to eight (8) SSIDs per band at the same time for secure access. ENH1750EXT Access Point Client Client 2.4 GHz 5 GHz Client Client Client Client...
  • Page 22 The ENH1750EXT can be used as a centralized Outdoor Access Point with which other EnGenius Wireless N 2.4 or 5 GHz Outdoor Client Bridges can associate; leveraging the long-range capability of their internal high-gain directional antennas, resulting in a very cost-effective solution to expand a company network over a multiple building campus.
