You can set the NWA1123 to operate in either standalone AP or managed AP mode. When the
NWA1123 is in standalone AP mode, it can serve as a normal AP, or even as a root AP or a wireless
repeater to establish wireless links with other APs in a WDS (Wireless Distribution System). A WDS is a
wireless connection between two or more APs.
