GWN76xx Master/Slave Architecture Guide
Figure 8: Add a New Network Group
Notes:
A network group can be formed by one or multiple GWN76xx access points (including Master GWN76xx).
Each network group can have a unique or different SSIDs (up to 16). A slave access point can be member
of different network groups.
GWN76xx does not support DHCP server and cannot assign IP addresses to devices. GWN76xx acts only
as a relay of the router connected to it.
