Application Modes
Although the access point is intended to be used for WDS point-to-point bridging, the access point offers other operating modes. The access point multiple mode system which can be
configured either as a wireless gateway or an access point as desired. It also can be used as a WDS (Wireless Distribution System) link for Ethernet network expansion. This section
depicts different applications on Router AP Mode, AP Mode, WDS Mode, CPE Mode, Client Bridge + Universal Repeater Mode and CPE + AP Mode.
The different modes can be found under System > Operating Mode in the access point web management page.
AP Mode (Access Point Mode)
An access point can be either a main, relay or remote base station. A main base station is typically connected to a wired network via the Ethernet port. A relay base station relays data
between main base stations and relay stations or remote base stations with clients. A remote base station is the end point to accept connections from wireless clients and pass data
upstream to a network wirelessly.
Example 1: Access Point Only
 It can be deployed as a traditional fixed wireless access point.
Example 2: Access Point + WDS Bridging
 It can be deployed as a traditional fixed wireless access point and establish WDS bridging to an upstream access point to expand a network.
