Intelligent Access Point
A MOTOMESH Duo device can function as an IAP (gateway) or an MWR. All MOTOMESH
Duo devices ship from the factory as IAPs. If an IAP does not detect a wired connection it
will convert to an MWR thus removing itself as a valid gateway to the wired network. This
prevents routing holes from forming in the network. IAPs (functioning as MWRs) will still
participate in the mesh and will forward traffic to an alternative IAPs (gateways). A node can
also be specifically set as an IAP or an MWR using the One Point Wireless Manager™
application or the device webpage.
