• When you put the WX-1 1xx in bridge mode, it can receive a wireless signal from an access point in root access point mode and send it to a client device through an Ethernet connection. • WDS Repeater – The repeater also receives wireless signal from another access point. However, unlike a brige access point, a repeater access point sends out Wi-Fi Wi Fi so that client devices can connect to it wirelessly.
The functionality of the WX-1x changes depending on its operating mode. This manual offers both general and mode-specific content.
