1.2 How to Set Up the WAP6807
The WAP6807 can function as a Repeater or an Access Point (AP).
Set your WAP6807 as an AP if you already have a router in your network and you want to bridge a wired
network (LAN) and another LAN or wireless LAN (WLAN) in the same subnet. If the WAP6807 has a wired
uplink connection, it is in AP mode.
Figure 1 Device Operation Mode Example: AP Mode
In Figure 1, the WAP6807 that is acting as an AP is bridging a wired network and a wired LAN in
the same subnet.
Set your WAP6807 as a Repeater if you want to connect an existing wireless network through another
Access Point and also provide network connection to wireless clients. In this mode, the WAP6807 can be
an access point and a wireless client at the same time. If the WAP6807 has a wireless uplink connection,
it is in RP mode.
