AP/WDS/Universal Repeater

3.1. Access Point

In AP (Access Point) mode, your device acts as a communication hub for users with
a wireless device to connect to a wired LAN/WAN.

3.2. WDS Bridge

You can only connect to the device via Ethernet Port
WDS (Wireless Distribution System) allows AP to communicate with one another
wirelessly. This capability is critical in providing a seamless experience for roaming
clients and for managing multiple wireless networks.

3.3. Universal Repeater

Repeater is used to regenerate or replicate signals that are weakened or distorted by
transmission over long distances and through areas with high levels of
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Universal Repeater (AP) mode on one radio
channel is usually configured along with Universal Repeater (STA) mode on AP
channel.
