Fig. 5.6

You must enter the remote AP's MAC address in the Remote AP BSS ID. It is best to use another TEW-310APB as the Remote AP, please find AP's LAN MAC address in the Status page and enter it here.

(Note: When the device is set to AP Client mode, it no longer accepts connection from any wireless clients.)

MAC Address (Media Access Control Address): A unique hardware address that identifies a device on a network. It is assigned at the factory and cannot be changed. Usually you will find this address on a sticker on the device or on the packaging.

Wireless Bridge: Bridges two wired Ethernet networks together wirelessly using two TEW-310APB. You must enter the Remote Bridge AP's MAC address in the Remote Bridge MAC. It is best to use another TEW-310APB as the Remote Bridge AP, please find AP's LAN MAC address in the Status page and enter it in Remote Bridge MAC.

(Note: When the device is set to Wireless Bridge or Multiple Bridge mode, it no longer accepts connections from any wireless clients.)

Multiple Bridge: Bridges multiple wired Ethernet networks together using multiple AP. All AP must have the same ESSID and Channel number. It is best to use TEW-310APB as the Bridging AP. Although there is no limit on the numbers of AP you can bridge together, please keep in mind that all AP share the 11Mbps wireless bandwidth. In Multiple Bridge environment, you could also limit certain APs' bandwidth by setting their Supported Rate to lower number (e.g. 1~2Mbps).

Beacon Interval: Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to synchronize a wireless network. Specify a Beacon interval value. Default (100) is recommended.
