Eachband(either2.4GHzor5GHz)oftheWK2xcanoperateinanyoneofthreemodes:
AccessPointMode:This is the typical configuration for most Wi-Fi networks. In this mode, the WK-2x broadcasts two Wi-Fi signals (2.4 GHz and 5GHz) that clients can associate with, as shown in the figure below. WDSBridgeMode: In this mode, you can connect one WK-2x to a client by its Ethernet port, as shown below. In Client Bridge Mode, the WK-2x can receive a wireless signal from an Access 6 WK-2x User Manual Point and send the signal through its Ethernet port to a client. This mode is used when you need to have network connectivity to hard wired device(s) but are unable to run cable to them. WDSRepeaterMode:This can be used to connect two WK-2 access points wirelessly and extend your wireless network coverage.
