Page 12: Hardware Connection
Hardware Connection Note: Before you starting hardware connection, you are advised to find an appropriate location to place the Access Point. Usually, the best place for the Access Point is at the center of your wireless network, with line of straight to all your wireless stations. Also, remember to adjust the antenna; usually the higher the antenna is placed the better will be the performance. -
Page 13: About The Wireless Operation Modes
About the Wireless Operation Modes The WL-5470AP v2 device provides all 7 modes of wireless operational applications with: 1 Access Point Mode. 2 Client Mode. 3 Bridge Mode. 4 WDS Repeater Mode. 5 Universal Repeater Mode. 6 WISP (Client Router) Mode. -
Page 14: Access Point Mode
Access Point Mode When acting as an access point (default setting), this device connects all the stations (PC/notebook with wireless network adapter) to a wired network. All stations can have the Internet access if only the Access Point has the Internet connection. See the sample application below. To set the operation mode to “Access Point”, please go to “Mode AP”... -
Page 15: Client Mode (Infrastructure)
Client Mode (Infrastructure) If set to Client (Infrastructure) mode, this device can work like a wireless station when it’s connected to a computer so that the computer can send packets from wired end to wireless interface. Refer to the illustration below. This station (AP1 plus the connected computer 1) can associate to another Access Point (AP2), and then can have the Internet access if the other Access Point (AP2) has the Internet connection. -
Page 16: Client Mode (Ad-Hoc)
Client Mode (Ad-hoc) If set to the Client (Ad-hoc) mode, this device can work like a wireless station when it is connected to a computer so that the computer can send packets from wired end to wireless interface. You can share files and printers between wireless stations (PC and laptop with wireless network adapter installed). -
Page 17: Bridge Mode
Bridge Mode In this mode, 2 access points in two remote locations connect to each other to provide a wireless bridge between 2 remote LANs. It is mostly used by enterprise to connect 2 remote office's network together. The bridge modes are connected by using either the WDS (Wireless Distribution System) or Ad-Hoc topology. This feature is also useful when users want to bridge networks between buildings where it is impossible to deploy network cable connections between these buildings. -
Page 18: Wds Repeater Mode
WDS Repeater Mode A repeater's function is to extend the wireless coverage of another wireless AP or router. For WDS repeater to work, the remote wireless AP/Router must also support WDS function. To set the operation mode to “WDS Repeater”, Please go to “Mode WDS Repeater”... -
Page 19: Universal Repeater Mode
Universal Repeater Mode A universal repeater can also extend the wireless coverage of another wireless AP or router. But the universal repeater does not require the remote device to have WDS function. Therefore, it can work with almost any wireless device. Note: When you are using the universal repeater mode, please make sure the remote AP/Router‘s WDS function is turned off. -
Page 20: Wisp ( Client Router) Mode
WISP ( Client Router) Mode WISP (Client Router) mode In WISP mode, the AP will behave just the same as the Client mode for wireless function. However, Router functions are added between the wireless WAN side and the Ethernet LAN side. Therefore, The WISP subscriber can share the WISP connection without the need for extra router. -
Page 21: Wisp + Universal Repeater Mode
WISP + Universal Repeater Mode In this mode, the AP behaves virtually the same as the WISP mode, except one thing: the AP can also send wireless signal to the LAN side. That means the AP can connect with the remote WISP AP and the indoor wireless card, and then provide IP sharing capability all at the same time! However, the output power is divided between 2 wireless sides and proper antenna installation can influence the performance greatly. -
Page 22: Gw Mode
GW Mode In this mode, the AP behaves virtually the same as the WISP mode, except one thing: the AP can also send wireless signal to the LAN side. That means the AP can connect with the remote WISP AP and the indoor wireless card and then provide IP sharing capability all at the same time! However, the output power is divided between 2 wireless sides, and proper antenna installation can significantly improve the performance. -
Page 23: Configuration
Configuration Start your computer. Connect an Ethernet cable between your computer and the Wireless Access Point.

WPA is an encryption standard proposed by WiFi for advance protection by utilizing a password key (TKIP) or certificate. It is more secure than WEP encryption. Encryption: WPA2-AES / WPA2-Mixed The two most important features beyond WPA to become standardized through 802.11i/WPA2 are: pre-authentication, which enables secure fast roaming without noticeable signal latency. - Page 31 network, you can enter new Fragment Threshold value to split the packet. The value can be set from 256 to 2346. The default value is 2346. RTS Threshold RTS Threshold is a mechanism implemented to prevent the “Hidden Node” problem. “Hidden Node” is a situation in which two stations are within range of the same Access Point, but are not within range of each other.
