5. Driftstilstande

The WONLINK AC1200 supports four primary operating modes to suit various networking needs:

• AP (Adgangspunkt) Tilstand: In this mode, the device connects to an existing wired network (e.g., from a router or modem) and broadcasts a wireless signal, allowing wireless devices to connect to the network. It extends the coverage of your existing wired network wirelessly.
• Routertilstand: The device acts as a primary router, connecting to an internet source (e.g., a modem) and providing both wired and wireless network access to connected devices. It manages IP addresses and network traffic.
• Repeater-tilstand: This mode extends the range of an existing wireless network. The device connects wirelessly to an existing Wi-Fi signal and re-broadcasts it, effectively boosting the signal strength and coverage area.
• Brotilstand: In bridge mode, the device connects two separate wired networks wirelessly, acting as a wireless bridge. This is useful for connecting devices in different locations without running long Ethernet cables.
