Chapter 3: Network Planning The Mini AP Router is designed to be very flexible in its deployment options. It can be used as an Internet gateway for a small network, or as an access point to extend an existing wired network to support wireless users. It also supports use as a wireless client to connect to another wireless network, or a wireless bridge to connect two wired LANs.
3 Network Planning The public external network, connected to the WAN port, supports DHCP client and Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) for connection to an Internet service provider (ISP) through a cable or DSL modem: LAN Access Point The Mini AP Router can provide an access point service for an existing wired LAN, creating a wireless extension to the local network. The Mini AP Router functions as purely an access point when set to Bridge Mode.
Wireless Bridge 3 Wireless Bridge The IEEE 802.11 standard defines a WIreless Distribution System (WDS) for bridge connections between access points. The Mini AP Router can use WDS to forward traffic on links between units. A single WDS bridge link can be specified for each VAP interface. One end of a link must be configured as the “WDS Parent” and the other as the “WDS Child.
