3.3.1. Specifying Operational Mode
On this page, you can specify the operational mode for the DRBAP. There are 3 modes:
Bridge Repeater. In this mode, both WLAN interfaces are configured as LAN-to-LAN bridge
interfaces. A bridge repeater forwards packets between two wireless LAN-to-LAN bridges. It's
possible to use multiple bridge repeaters between two LAN-to-LAN bridges if the distance is
very long.

AP Repeater. In this mode, one WLAN interface is configured as an AP interface, and the other
is configured as a LAN-to-LAN bridge interface. The AP repeater is suitable for situations in
which Ethernet wiring between the AP and the network backbone is impossible or costs highly.
