ASUS 802.11g Access Point

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”.
