Chapter 3 - Software Configuration

Access Point

1) Bridge Mode (WDS)

Wireless bridge, also known as Wireless Distribution System or WDS, allows

you to connect to one or many Access Points. If you set the same SSID among

all access points, wireless security level reaches up to WPA-PSK level.

Otherwise, the security level is WEP only.

Access Point

AP Mode configures the ASUS 802.11g AP for a specific purpose. By default,

the ASUS 802.11g AP is set to serve as an “Access Point” where a wireless

mobile client can connect wirelessly to a wired Ethernet network.

WDS Only

With WDS, the ASUS 802.11g AP can only communicate with other Access

Points.

Hybrid

Hybrid allows you to use the ASUS 802.11g AP both as an access point and

as a wireless bridge.

Channel

Both Access Points in Wireless Bridge mode must be set to the same

channel.
