A.2.2 Sample Access Point and Client Bridge Application

The following figure shows an example of a configuration that uses 802.11a Client Bridge mode for the EOA devices to communicate with each other and 802.11g Access Point mode for Wi-Fi client devices.

This setup expands the concurrent dual-radio Access Point configuration described in the previous section by using several EOA series Access Points. In this configuration:

yThe 802.11a radio is configured for Client Bridge Mode to associate to the main Access Point as a dedicated backhaul .

yThe 802.11g radio is configured for Access Point mode for wireless client devices to connect to. To achieve a Client Bridge/Access Point Repeater configuration:
