• Upgrades pg a wired router to a wireless network • Upgrades an older wireless network to 802.
• When you change the WAP into this mode, the Wireless tab will change similar to other Media Connectors. You will have the Site Survey option as well. • You can also plug the WAP in this mode into a switch and all wired devices behind the switch will obtain an IP up to 64 wired clients (in theory; not fully tested.
• Extends the wireless range of an existing wireless network (does not need to be p plugged gg into the router)) • Adds wireless networking capability to any wired (Ethernet) device. • Can only extend one band at a time. • If connecting a switch a total of 64 clients are supported (wired+wireless) (wired wireless) (in theory; not fully tested.
• Based on WDS (Wireless Distribution System) System). No standardization for WDS, WDS may vary from vendor to vendor therefore in this mode it must be used with another WAP300N. • Requires 2 or more WAP300N to operate. operate One WAP in Bridge mode must be wired to existing router/network. This way all other WAP’s in bridge mode can communicate back to router/network. The existing network does not need to have an existing Wi-Fi network.
Do not create a loop in your network.
The use of WPS will depend on the mode the WAP300N is currently configured as: • Access Point mode- Wireless clients to WAP300N • Wireless Media Connector mode- WAP300N to a wireless router or Access point • Wireless Wi l R Range E Extender t d moded WAP300N to t a wireless i l router, t A Access point i t or wireless clients • Wireless Bridge mode- No WPS support (configuration is based on Local Mac address dd and d nott wireless i l settings) tti )
• Computer physically connected to the access point via Ethernet can easily communicate with the device and carry out the setup process even before the access point is connected to the primary DHCP server of the home network. • Enabled when the access point has detected that there is no other DHCP server on the network. Otherwise, the built-in DHCP server is disabled and the device behaves as a DHCP client. • When the built-in DHCP server is enabled - IP address of WAP300N is 10.100.1.
Default IP Address 10.100.1.

• The Setup > Network Setup page • We can configure the WAP300N to have a Static IP address once we accessed the Setup Page
• The Setup > Operation Mode page • This is where you can go to change the Operation mode of the WAP300N. WAP300N Default is Access Point.
• The Wireless Settings page of the WAP300N on “Access Point” mode • Configuration, look and feel is similar to a Linksys dual band router.

Near field communication (NFC) • Near field communication (NFC) is a set of standards for smartphones and similar devices to establish radio communication with each other by y touching g them together or bringing them into close proximity, usually no more than a few centimeters. Present and d anticipated ti i t d applications li ti include contactless transactions, data exchange, and simplified setup of more complex communications such as WI-FI © 2011 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
• NFC technology has the power to b i new bring simplicity and convenience to manyy aspects p of a typical person's daily life, as this example illustrates • NFC Forum http://www.nfcforum.org © 2011 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
• Mb: megabits per second; MB: megabytes per second • Channel width: how much radio frequency is used by a channel; the wider the channel, the faster data can be transferred, i.e. a 40 MHz channel transfers 2x that of a 20 MHz channel and an 80 MHz channel 4x a 20 MHz channel. • PHY rate: speed of raw channel without the overhead of media access protocol, i.e. Gigabit Ethernet is 1000 Mb • Data rate: speed user data is transferred, i.e. Gigabit Ethernet is ~ 650 Mb.
• Spatial stream: unique simultaneous data stream • Each spatial stream has a PHY rate of 150 Mb: 1x1 = 150 Mb, 2x2 = 300 Mb, 3x3 = 450 Mb • Example: p “N900” has 3 spatial p streams ((3x3)) at 5 GHz and 3 spatial p streams (3x3) at 2.4 GHz. So, it has a 450 Mb PHY rate at 5 GHz and a 450 Mb PHY rate at 2.4 GHz for a total PHY rate of 900 Mb, thus the name “N900”.
