Chapter 3 - Software Configuration

Access Point

Wireless bridge (also known as Wireless Distribution System or WDS) allows you

to connect to one or many Access Points.

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.

Connect to APs in Remote Bridge List (Yes/No)

Select Yes to connect to access points in the remote bridge list.

Allow anonymous? (Yes/No)

Select Yes to allow users without accounts to connect.

Note: If “Connect to APs in Remote Bridge List” and “Allow Anonymous” are both set to “No”, it

means that this AP will not connect with other APs and therefore the AP mode setting will return to

“AP Only”.
