Fig. 5. Operational modes. 
Go to the General, Operational Mode section to select an operational mode for the DRBAP. There 
are 3 operational modes—Bridge RepeaterAP Repeater, and Dual AP
Bridge Repeater. In this mode, both WLAN interfaces are configured as LAN-to-LAN bridge 
interfaces. A bridge repeater forwards packets between two wireless LAN-to-LAN bridges. It’s 
possible to use multiple bridge repeaters between two LAN-to-LAN bridges if the distance is 
very long.

AP Repeater. In this mode, one WLAN interface is configured as an AP interface, and the other 
is configured as a LAN-to-LAN bridge interface. The AP repeater is suitable for situations in 
which Ethernet wiring between the AP and the network backbone is impossible or costs highly.
