Figure 4-14. Basic wireless settings.

Disable Wireless LAN Interface

Check this option to disable the WLAN interface. The wireless module of the Wireless P-T-P Ethernet Extender will then stop
working and no wireless device can connect to it.

Wireless Mode

Four operating modes are available in the Wireless P-T-P Ethernet Extender.

AP: The Wireless P-T-P Ethernet Extender establishes a wireless coverage and receives connectivity from other wireless devices.

Wireless Client: The Wireless P-T-P Ethernet Extender can connect to the AP and join the wireless network around it.

Bridge: The Wireless P-T-P Ethernet Extender establishes wireless connectivity with other APs by keying in a remote MAC address.
Refer to the “WDS Setting” in Section 5.2.3 for detailed configuration.

AP Repeater: The Wireless P-T-P Ethernet Extender servers as AP and Bridge concurrently. In other words, the extender can
provide connectivity services for extenders in Bridge mode.

Wireless Network Name (SSID)

This wireless network name is shared among all associated devices in your wireless network. Keep it identical on all those devices.

NOTE: SSID is case-sensitive and cannot exceed 32 characters.

Broadcast SSID

In AP mode, you need to hide the network name when you are in a wireless environment that may have potential risk. By
disabling broadcast SSID, the STA cannot scan and find the Wireless P-T-P Ethernet Extender, so that malicious attack by some
illegal STA can be avoided.
