Access Point is the device that connects a wireless network to a wired system, so it has at least two interfaces:wireless - WLAN, using 802.11 standard, and wired - LAN, using 802.3 standard.

View of the i nterfaces of TP-Link TL-WA500G Access Point

The interfaces are quite different, which eliminates a risk of mistake. An antenna is connected to the standardSMA R/P connector (in some devices, e.g. Linksys - TNC R/P).

The example device is TP-Link TL-WA500G N2941 . It operates in 802.11 b/g standard, in one of the modes:Access Point, Access Point Client, Repeater, Bridge (Point to Point, Point to Multipoint). The Access Point hasuseful functions suitable for application in small cells of WLAN. Thanks to WPA/WPA2, WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK,TKIP/AES encryption and filtering of MAC addresses, the device ensures high security levels. T he possibility ofconnecting an external/outdoor antenna is another big advantage. A simple menu of the device and easyconfiguration do not bother any installer, even someone starting the job.

Every Access Point can operate in various modes which allow to perform specific functions. Some modes cancombine several functions, increasing functionality of the device. The user should choose them carefully, as theymay be less stable in comparison with single-function modes. In each case it depends on the features of thedevice and quality of its software.

The choice of modes of operation availabl e in TP-Link TL-WA500G

Description of operation modes

* Access Point - it is the basic mode that allows wireless communication between any client equippedwith a wireless card/adapter and the AP. The users (clients) connect to the wireless network inInfrastructure mode.

The structure of a network operating in Access Point mode (Infrastructure)

Add to the Cart items from the diagram

* Access Point Client - in this mode the device operates similarly to a wireless card/adapter used byclients. This mode has to be used when there is a need of connecting a number of LAN users in a home,office, building - via wireless link. The Access Point can cooperate with a switch (not showed in thediagram below) providing the adequate number of LAN connections.

Access Point Client (APC) mode


* Repeater (regenerator) - the mode used for extending wireless network. The device receives thedesired stream of data and sends it further. This mode is often used in larger buildings for ensuring bettercoverage. Due to the way of work, the maximum throughput of the AP is decreased by 50%.

The idea of Repeater mode

* Bridge (Point to Point) - the mode for creating direct Point-to-Point links, i.e. wireless bridges. It usesstatic routing based on the MAC addresses of the Access Points. This mode allows to connect distantparts of wired networks. T he links are protected against access from other devices. For this mode thereare recommended devices coming from the same manufacturer, because it is not standardized.

Bridge mode (Point to Point)


* Bridge (Point to Point) with AP mode - combination of functionality of Bridge and AccessPoint modes. The point-to-point connection does not eliminate possibility of connecting wirelessclients.

Combination of the Bridge (Point to Point) and Access Point modes


* Bridge (Point to Multipoint) - ensures multiple paths from a single location to multiple locations, i.e. aset of wireless bridges. It uses static routing based on the MAC addresses of the Access Points. Thismode allows to connect distant multiple parts of wired networks. The links are protected against accessfrom other devices. For this mode there are recommended devices coming from the same manufacturer,because it is not standardized.

Bridge (Point to Multipoint) mode


* Bridge (Point to Multipoint) with AP mode - combination of functionality of Bridge (Point toMultipoint) and Access Point modes. The point-to-multipoint connections do not eliminatepossibility of connecting wireless clients.
