their associated wireless stations within the same ESS must have the same ESSID 
in order to communicate.

Figure 78   Extended Service Set

The NWA can run in four operating modes as follows:

• AP (Access Point). The NWA is wireless access point that allows wireless 

communication to other devices in the network.

• Bridge / Repeater. The NWA acts as a wireless network bridge and 

establishes wireless links with other APs. You need to know the MAC 

address of the peer device, which also must be in bridge mode. The NWA 

can establish up to five wireless links with other APs.

• AP + Bridge Mode. The NWA functions as a bridge and access point 

simultaneously. 

• MBSSID Mode. The Multiple Basic Service Set Identifier (MBSSID) mode 

allows you to use one access point to provide several BSSs simultaneously.
