• Access Point Client -
A WAP11 set to Access
Point Client mode is
able to talk to one main
WAP11 and wireless
clients within its range.
This mode allows your
WAP11 to act as a client
of a main WAP11. A
LAN attached to your
WAP11 client can then
be wirelessly bridged to
the main WAP11. Enter
the required MAC
address of the main
WAP11.
• Wireless Bridge - If you are trying to make a wireless connection between
two or more wired networks, select Wireless Bridge. There are two options:
Point to Point and Point to MultiPoint.
Point to Point
This mode connects two physically separated LAN segments by using two
WAP11 units.
