In this chapter, you will learn how to utilize WHA-5500CPE-NT’s Access Point mode, Client
Infrastructure Mode, and Bridge Infrastructure mode in one application example. In
addition, you will also learn how to configure multiple SSID and bandwidth control.
7.1 Application Environment
In this application example, an WHA-5500CPE-NT in Access Point mode is in the center of
an infrastructure topology with two virtual wireless networks. The first wireless network is
the AP-Client network and the second network is the Bridge network. Each wireless
network has its own SSID, security Policy and Bandwidth policy. On the left hand side is
an WHA-5500CPE-NT in Bridge Infrastructure mode. On the right hand side are an
WHA-5500CPE-NT (Client Mode), a notebook, and a PC.
Below is the general description about the devices of the network.
Device A: WHA-5500CPE-NT in Access Point Mode

 airliveclient: A network for wireless clients with WPA-PSK security policy.
 bridgeinf: A bridge network with WPA-PSK2 security policy
 Enable Per-User bandwidth Control for the “airliveclient” network
