Building a Wireless Network
Before starting to configure this Access Point, you may realize the used scenario under varied operating modes.
The AP can transmit data more efficiently, avoid collisions, and reduce latency and packet losses.
Access Point Mode
In Access Point Mode, the device behaves like a central connection for stations or clients that support IEEE 802.11ax/ac/
a/n networks. The stations and clients must be configured to use the identical SSID (Service Set Identifier) and security
password to associate with the EnStation6/ENH500-AX. The EnStation6/ENH500-AX supports up to one (1)/eight (8)
SSIDs per band simultaneously for secure access.
Station Mode
The device essentially acts as a wireless adapter that connects to an access point to allow wireless access to the network
in the station mode. Since the client is on the same subnet, the device can broadcast to reach the client’s device.
If you use the station mode in the device, you can use the AP Detection feature to scan for Access Points within range.
When you find an Access Point, configure the device to use the identical SSID and Security Password as the Access
Point to associate with it.

The device also supports WDS AP mode. This operating mode allows wireless connection to the other devices via the
WDS technology. Configure the MAC addresses in both Access Points to enlarge the wireless area in this mode by
enabling WDS Link settings. WDS supports up to four (4) AP MAC addresses.
WDS Station Mode
Station mode expands the WDS by receiving a wireless signal/service and sharing it through the Ethernet port.
WDS Repeater Mode
Extend the coverage area of your WiFi network. It works by receiving your existing WiFi signal, amplifying it and then
transmitting the boosted signal.
