[wmmak]

Dear all,

Can the wireless client work with wireless bridge, say AP1400?

Thanks

Hi Mak,

Currently the only bridge that does accept client connections/ association is the BR1310 bridge.

The BR1410 will not accept any client association on it, it can only associate with other BR1410 bridges.

The BR1310 has a mode call 'RootAP' which allows associate by not only non root bridges that are also BR1310s but association from end clients like wireless laptops and other models of APs like 1200s.

Hope this helps.

Dear Aaron,

Can I configure BR1310 both "RootAP" and "Wireless bridge" at the same time?

Hello Mak,

You can only place the radio interface in one role.

But if you set as a RootAP then the BR1310 basically does the same these two roles, acting as an AP so end clients can associate to it and a Root bridge for non root BR1310 to associate to, other bridges like 350s can also can to the RootAP BR1310 as a client in this setting as well.

RootAP mode combines these two settings. And is a feature only available on the BR1310 unit.

Aaron
