Chapter 4 Building a Wireless Network 20
The EAP1750H has the ability to operate in various modes. This chapter describes the operating modes of the EAP1750H. Access Point Mode In Access Point Mode, the EAP1750H behaves like a central connection for stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n networks. The stations and clients must be configured to use the same SSID (Service Set Identifier) and security password to associate with the EAP1750H.
WDS AP Mode The EAP1750H also supports WDS AP mode. This operating mode allows wireless connections to the EAP1750H using WDS technology. In this mode, configure the MAC addresses in both Access Points to enlarge the wireless area by enabling WDS Link settings. WDS supports up to four (4) AP MAC addresses. 5 GHz Client Computer 5 GHz Client Computer 2.4 GHz EAP1750H WDS AP Client EAP1750H WDS AP Client 2.
WDS Bridge Mode In WDS Bridge Mode, the EAP1750H can wirelessly connect different LANs by configuring the MAC address and security settings of each EAP1750H device. Use this mode when two wired LANs located a small distance apart want to communicate with each other. The best solution is to use the EAP1750H to wirelessly connect two wired LANs, as shown in the following figure. WDS Bridge Mode can establish up to four (4) WDS links, creating a star-like network.
