4. Aplikační režimy

The VAP11G-300 supports three primary application modes to suit various networking needs.

Figure 4: Application Mode Introduction.

4.1. Režim AP (přístupový bod)

In AP Mode, the device converts a wired network connection into a wireless access point. This is suitable for scenarios where an Ethernet cable provides internet access to a computer without requiring dialing, allowing multiple wireless devices to connect.

4.2. Režim opakovače

Repeater Mode extends the coverage of an existing WiFi network, simplifying network expansion. It can also convert a WiFi signal to an RJ45 network connection, enabling a wired device (like a desktop PC) to access the internet wirelessly.

4.3. Režim Bridge

In Bridge Mode, the VAP11G-300 acts as a transparent bridge, allowing wired devices to connect to a wireless network. This mode supports both IP and MAC level transparent transmission, making it ideal for devices that lack built-in WiFi capabilities.
