Access points in relay mode

Access points equipped with two wireless modules can be used to establish
wireless bridges across multiple stations. Each wireless module is configured

Security for point-to-point connections

IEEE 802.11i can be used to attain a significant increase in the security of
WLAN point-to-point connections. All of the advantages of 802.11i such as
the simple configuration and the powerful encryption with AES are thus avai-
lable for P2P mode, as are the improved security of the passphrase from the
LANCOM Enhance Passphrase Security (LEPS).
