Access Point Mode - Wistron CA8-PRO User Manual

1.3.1 Access Point Mode

When configured in the Access Point mode, the 802.11A/G ACCESS POINT
allows a group of wireless stations to communicate with each other through it.
Such a network is called an Infrastructure BSS.
The 802.11A/G ACCESS POINT further provides bridging functions between
the wireless network and the wired LAN network.
When multiple access points are connected to the same LAN segment,
stations can roam from one 802.11A/G ACCESS POINT to another without
losing their connections, as long as they are using the same SSID. See the
diagram below.
