WiFi-b™ in Station Mode - Infrastructure Network
When set to Station Mode, WiFi-b™ connects to a wired or wireless network via an
access point. The router assigns a virtual IP address to each wireless client.
WiFi-b™ in Soft Access Point (Soft AP) Mode - Bridge
This setup applies to a host computer with an installed WiFi-b™ card and a
network adapter connected to a hub. By bridging the network connections to the
hub and the wireless client, the latter is allowed connection to the Internet via the
ADSL modem. The Internet Service Provider (ISP) assigns the real IP address to
the wireless client. In this setup, every computer must create a broadband network
connection.
