WHEN TO USE WHICH MODE
The access point is versatile in the sense that it may operate in six different types of modes: Access Point Mode, Client Mode, Point to Point, Point to Multiple Point, Wireless Routing Client and Gateway.
This section presents a brief outline of the different network applications that can be accommodated through the different modes of the access point.
ACCESS POINT MODE
This is the default mode of your access point. The Access Point mode enables you to bridge wireless clients to access the wired network infrastructure and to communicate with each other.
In the example above, the wireless users will be able to access the file server connected to the switch through the access point in Access Point mode.
