1.3.5The Wireless Ethernet Adapter Mode

Similarly to the Access Point Client mode, the access point used in this mode, is able to communicate wirelessly with another access point to perform transparent bridging between two networks.

However here, the Wireless Ethernet Adapter connects a single wired workstation only. No client software or drivers are required while using this mode.

1.3.6The Wireless Bridge Link Mode

The Wireless Bridge Link mode allows point-to-point communication between different buildings. It enables you to bridge wireless clients that are kilometres apart ( eg. within 100 metres between two buildings ) while unifying the networks. In this scenario, you may configure two of the access point units to perform transparent bridging between two buildings.
