Wireless Access Point User's Guide

Advanced Settings

AP Mode

There are 4 modes available.

AP: Access Point mode. Bridge

wireless clients to wired Ethernet

network.

AP Client: Acts as a wireless client

and connects to a remote Access

Point. This is used to convert an

Ethernet device to Wireless Client.

You must enter the remote AP's MAC address in the Remote AP BSS ID. It is

best to use another TEW-310APB as the Remote AP, please find AP's LAN

MAC address in the Status page and enter it here.

(Note: When the device is set to AP Client mode, it no longer accepts

connection from any wireless clients.)

MAC Address (Media Access Control Address): A unique hardware

address that identifies a device on a network. It is assigned at the factory

and cannot be changed. Usually you will find this address on a sticker on

the device or on the packaging.

Wireless Bridge: Bridges two wired Ethernet networks together wirelessly

using two TEW-310APB. You must enter the Remote Bridge AP's MAC

address in the Remote Bridge MAC. It is best to use another TEW-310APB

as the Remote Bridge AP, please find AP's LAN MAC address in the Status

page and enter it in Remote Bridge MAC.

(Note: When the device is set to Wireless Bridge or Multiple Bridge

mode, it no longer accepts connections from any wireless clients.)

Multiple Bridge: Bridges multiple wired Ethernet networks together using

multiple AP. All AP must have the same ESSID and Channel number. It is

best to use TEW-310APB as the Bridging AP. Although there is no limit on

the numbers of AP you can bridge together, please keep in mind that all AP

share the 11Mbps wireless bandwidth. In Multiple Bridge environment, you

could also limit certain APs' bandwidth by setting their Supported Rate to

lower number (e.g. 1~2Mbps).

Beacon Interval: Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to

synchronize a wireless network. Specify a Beacon interval value. Default

(100) is recommended.
