2.1.1 Device Modes

This refers to the operating mode of the WAP3205 v2, which can act as a:

• Access Point. Use this mode if you want to extend your network by allowing network devices to

connect to the WAP3205 v2 wirelessly. Go to Section 3.4 on page 18 to view the Status screen in

In this mode, you can also set the WAP3205 v2 to work as an AP only, a wireless bridge to

establish wireless links with other APs (WDS bridge), or an AP and bridge simultaneously (WDS

repeater). See Section 10.12 on page 98 for more information.

• Client. Use this mode if there is an existing wireless router or access point in the network to

which you want to connect your local network. Go to Section 4.5 on page 24 to view the Status

screen in this mode. In Client mode, you should know the SSID and wireless security details of

the access point to which you want to connect.

• Universal Repeater. In this mode, the WAP3205 v2 can be an access point and a wireless client

at the same time. Use this mode if there is an existing wireless router or access point in your

network and you also want to allow clients to connect to the WAP3205 v2 wirelessly. Go to

Section 4.5 on page 24 to view the Status screen in this mode.
