3.4.9 Mesh Settings
Wireless Mesh mode uses wireless media to connect to other wireless access points. Another term for
this feature is wireless point to point or point to multi-point bridging. Unlike WDS mode, wireless mesh
mode can provide redundancy and dynamic path selection through multiple Mesh enabled wireless
access points. Wireless access points using wireless mesh mode must be configured to use the same
channel number, Mesh ID, wireless security type, and wireless security key. This feature is only availa-
ble when using Mesh or AP+Mesh modes located under Wireless > Basic Settings. To use Mesh, you will
require at least 2 or more wireless access points that support Mesh. It is ideal to have at least 3 wire-
less access points.
