Mode 

The radio of the device supports different modes as follows: 

AP 

The radio of the device acts as an Access Point to serves all wireless clients to join a wireless local network.  

Client 

Support Infrastructure and Ad-hoc network types to act as a wireless adapter. 

WDS 

This mode serves as a wireless repeater; the device forwards the packets to another AP with WDS function. When this mode 

is selected no wireless clients can survey or connect to the device. The device only allows the WDS connection. 

AP+WDS 

This mode combines WDS plus AP modes, it not only allows WDS connections but also allows the wireless clients to survey 

and connect to the device.
