3.2  Configuring the Access Point
 
The HWBA54G supports 3 modes of use: Client Bridge, Access Point, and 
Bridge modes. “Client Bridge Mode” is used to allow a network device 
with only a wired Ethernet function to have wireless LAN communications 
capability. It provides both Ad Hoc and Infrastructure modes for the 
Station Mode”.  “Station-Ad Hoc Mode”, allows the network device to 
join a wireless LAN with peer-to-peer communication. With 
Station-Infrastructure Mode”, it can let the network device join a 
wireless LAN through an access point. “AP Mode” provides pure access 
point function. This is the simplest way to create a wireless LAN network. 
AP Bridge Mode” provides the ability to bridge more than 2 wired 
Ethernet networks together by wireless LAN. You can use two access points 
with “P2P Mode” to bridge two wired Ethernet networks together. If you 
want to bridge more than two wired Ethernet networks together, you have to 
use enough access points with “PMP Mode”. An access point with “P2P 
Mode
” or “PMP Mode” can only be used to bridge wired Ethernet networks 
together. It cannot accept connections from other wireless stations at the 
same time.
