Client / WDS Client

This mode is for Dynamic LAN-to-LAN Bridging or Device-to-LAN scenarios. The AP
Client automatically establishes bridge links with other APs. EKI-6310GN forwards
packets between its Ethernet interface (LAN or WAN) and wireless interface (WLAN)
to connect wired hosts on the Ethernet side with wireless host(s) on the wireless side.
In Client Router mode, between the wireless and LAN is the IP sharing router func-
tion and the WAN is on the wireless side. There are two types of wireless links are
specified by the IEEE802.11 standard:

STA-AP
This type of wireless link is established between an IEEE802.11 Station (STA)
and an IEEE802.11 Access Point (AP). The Client mode is actually an STA.

WDS
This type of wireless link is established between two WDS Client and WDS AP.
Wireless packets transmitted along the WDS link comply with WDS format at
the link layer.
Note! WPA/WPA2 CANNOT be supported in WDS.
