4. Modos de funcionamento

The DAP-1360 offers seven distinct operating modes, allowing it to adapt to various network environments and requirements.

• Modo de punto de acceso (AP): This is the default mode. The device acts as a central hub, allowing wireless clients to connect to a wired network. It converts a wired connection into a wireless one.
• Modo de cliente sen fíos: In this mode, the DAP-1360 connects to another access point wirelessly, acting as a wireless adapter for a wired device (e.g., a desktop PC or gaming console without Wi-Fi).
• Modo ponte: This mode allows two wired networks (LANs) to be joined wirelessly. It creates a wireless link between two segments of a wired network.
• Bridge with AP Mode: Combines the functionality of Bridge mode with Access Point mode. The device acts as a wireless hub for local clients while simultaneously bridging two wired networks.
• Modo repetidor: Extends the coverage of an existing wireless network. The DAP-1360 receives a wireless signal and re-transmits it, eliminating "dead spots" and increasing the range of your Wi-Fi.
• WISP Client Router Mode: Designed for Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP) subscribers. It allows the DAP-1360 to connect wirelessly to a WISP network and share that internet connection with multiple wired computers in a home or office without needing an additional router.
• Modo repetidor WISP: Similar to WISP Client Router mode, but also extends the WISP connection wirelessly to other wireless devices within the local network, acting as both a client and a repeater for the WISP service.
