Bridge

The wireless radio of the device acts as the following roles.

AP (Access Point)

The wireless radio of device serves as communications “hub” for wireless clients and

provides a connection to a wired LAN.

Client mode

This mode enables the establishment of connection with the other AP using

infrastructure/Ad-hoc networking types. With bridge operation mode, you can directly

connect one of the wired Ethernet port to your PC and the device becomes a wireless

adapter. And with WISP operation mode, you can connect one of the wired Ethernet port

to a hub/switch and all the PCs connecting with hub/switch can share the same public IP

address from your ISP.

WDS (Wireless Distribution System)

This mode combines up to 8 AP to a single wireless network; the device forwards the

packets to another AP with WDS function. When this mode is selected, all the wireless

clients can’t survey and connect to the device. The device only allows the WDS

connection.

AP + WDS

This mode combines WDS plus AP modes, and it not only allows WDS connections but

also the wireless clients can survey and associate to the device.

The following table shows the supporting Wi-Fi role/function for each mode.
