(both)
Specifies the role of the access point in your network.
• Root Access Point—Use if you are connecting the
access point to the wired LAN through its Ethernet
port.
• Repeater Access Point—Use if you are not connecting
the access point to the wired LAN. In repeater mode,
the access point is a standalone repeater that extends
the range of the network infrastructure. The repeater
forwards data between wireless users (clients) and the
wired LAN by sending information to either another
repeater or to an access point connected to the wired
LAN. The data is sent through the route that provides
the best performance for the client.
• Site Survey Client—Use if performing a site survey for
a repeater access point.
