You can set the NWA/WAC to operate in either standalone AP or managed AP mode. When the NWA/
WAC is in standalone AP mode, it can serve as a normal AP, as an RF monitor to search for rouge APs to
help eliminate network threats (if it supports monitor mode and rogue APs detection), or even as a root
AP or a wireless repeater to establish wireless links with other APs in a WDS (Wireless Distribution System). A
WDS is a wireless connection between two or more APs.
