    1. Introduction 1.3.2 Dual AP Mode In Dual AP mode, both wireless interface of AC-1200UR are set as AP and provide hotspot service on each interface. Radio1 is set to 11ac mode while Radio2 is set to 11g/b/nMode. This mode is most useful for Dual Band Hotspot function such as in the hotels, shopping malls, or offices.

  • Page 12: Wisp + Ap Mode

    In this mode, Radio1 (5GHz) acts as a client to connect with remote WISP Base Station. Radio 2 (in 11g/b/n mode) works as an AP router to allow subscriber to share the WISP connection wirelessly. Using the AC-1200UR, WISP no longer requires 2 AP/CPE to provide wireless access in subscriber’s home or office.

  • Page 13: Bridge + Ap Mode

    Base Station and Radio2 is used for service to subscribers. This mode can also be used as repeater in indoor environment. The AC-1200UR’s Bridge mode can be configured as “WDS Bridge”. In WDS Bridge, you must enter the remote AP’s MAC Address. It can connect with another AC-1200UR via WDS Bridge.
