3 Wireless Network Modes
3.1 Access Point Mode
In the Access Point Mode, the ENH210EXT functions like a central connection for any stations
or clients that support the IEEE 802.11b/g/n standards. Stations and clients must utilize the
same SSID and Security Password to associate while within range. The most suitable
topology for this mode is to have one ENH210EXT as an AP and the second one as a
Client-Bridge – when necessary a third Client-Bridge can be place within the directional
antenna’s path. One advantage of using the ENH210EXT to create point-to-point outdoor
wireless links is when the environment is prone to radio interference on 5GHz band. Running
the network on 2.4GHz can avoid the interference, thus providing higher stability to the
network.
3.2 Access Point with WDS Function Mode
The ENH210EXT also supports WDS functionality while in Access Point Mode. Simply
configure other Access Points and the associated MAC addresses in order to enlarge the
wireless area by enabling WDS Link Settings. WDS functionality can support up to 8 different
AP MAC addresses. Please note that this mode is rarely used due to the nature of directional
antennae. Consequently, the wireless clients need to be located in the path of the
