The AP Mode > AP Mode window displays the access point mode settings for the
access point.
The access point offers three mutually exclusive modes of operation:
• Access Point (default)—Connects your wireless computers to a wired
network. In most cases, no change is necessary when choosing this mode.
• Wireless Repeater—Allows you to communicate with, and re-transmit the
signal of another remote wireless access point device if this access point is
within its range.
• Wireless Bridge—Wirelessly connects your wired network to other
physically separate wired networks having their own access points
similarly configured as wireless bridges. Wireless clients cannot connect to
the access point in this mode.
The access point's mode is set to Access Point by default. This connects your
wireless devices to a wired network. In most cases, no change is necessary.
