Advanced Wireless Bridging Help

Access Point Mode

Select the desired Access Point mode for your environment:

Access Point

Operate as a standard 802.11b/g or 802.11b/g/n Access Point. In this mode, the WN802T will communicate with wireless clients only.

Wireless Multi-Point Bridging

In this mode, the WN802T will communicate with up to six bridge-mode wireless access points. And, if you check the Enable Wireless Client Association checkbox, wireless clients will also be serviced by this access point.You must enter the MAC address (physical address) of each other Bridge-mode Wireless Station in the field provided. When you enter the remote wireless access point MAC address, the WN802T will attempt to validate that the SSID, channel, and WEP configuration of the remote access point matches the settings of this WN802T. WEP can (and should) be used to protect this traffic.

Repeater with Wireless Client Association

In this mode, the WN802T will operate as a Repeater only, and send all traffic to the remote AP. If selected, you must enter the MAC address (physical address) of the remote AP.
