P2MP: Point to Multiple Point Mode
The P2MP Bridge mode which connects scattered wired network together is more complicated than
P2P Bridge mode. P2MP usually transmits wireless signals from one access point, and other access
points are in charge of receiving signals so as to share network resource. It supports up to 4 remote
access point connections. In this mode, wireless clients are not allowed to connect. P2MP Bridge
mode can connect multiple wireless access points together without cabling. If “Root AP” is configured
as P2MP bridge mode, other (less than 4) remote access points should select P2P bridge modes. The
topology shows below:
