Router AP, routing, bridging mode What is the difference [Details]
| Now most of the route has begun to support a variety of network connection mode, then we pick a pattern and most complete routing to understand the difference between the various modes of it! Will be an example below TP-Link Mini wireless router. In the TP-Link wireless router generally Mini AP (Access Point) mode, Router (wireless router) mode, Repeater (relay) mode, Bridge (bridge) mode, Client (client) mode; already belong to a very wide pattern route, here we need several models will be described in detail. AP (Access Point) mode
The AP (Access Point) mode, just need an Internet network cable plugged into the router, without any configuration to the wired and wireless Internet; in this mode, the apparatus corresponds to a wireless HUB, may between wireless, wireless to wired, wireless access to the wide area network. In the final analysis it is the equivalent of a switch has wireless capabilities. Note that, in this case upper routing assigned IP address via the LAN port, or wireless Internet access device to obtain an IP user, it is impossible to manage the routing. Applications: e.g. just as wired and wireless access point, require the use of the device interworking with the superior route. Router (wireless router) mode
In Router (wireless router) mode, the router equivalent to a common wireless broadband router; usually this model we use are. You need to connect ADSL Modem (cat) or optical devices such as cats be configured. Applications: apply for a broadband user's own business situations. The Repeater (relay) mode
Under the Repeater (relay) mode, the wireless router by way of a wireless router Internet connection is established, for amplifying radio signals on a wireless router with Internet access. Note: consistent amplified radio signal and the original name of the wireless router wireless signal name. Applications: a wireless router with Internet access, but the limited radio coverage of the wireless router, wireless signals may wish to cover a wider range of use. Bridge (bridge) mode
Bridge (bridge) mode, the wireless router by way of a wireless router Internet connection is established, for amplifying radio signals on a wireless router with Internet access; Note: The name and the original name of the wireless signal of the wireless router amplified radio signal is not the same. Applications: a wireless router with Internet access, but the limited radio coverage of the wireless router, wireless signals may wish to cover a wider range of use. Repeater(中继)模式和Bridge(桥接)模式都是通过无线的方式连接到一台可以上网的无线路由器上，放大该无线路由器上的无线信号;区别在于Repeater(中继)模式下放大后的无线信号名称和之前路由器上的一致，而Bridge(桥接)模式放大后的无线信号名称和之前路由器上的无线信号名称不同。 |
