Apply: For the changes made to any of the items above to be effective, click "Apply". The new settings are now been saved to Access Point and will be effective once the Access Point restarts. 14 AP Client mode Configure the AP to AP Client mode; the AP will be a wireless Ethernet adapter transforms any Ethernet-enabled devices to have the wireless function. AP Client mode configuration SSID: Service Set Identifier, which is a unique name shared among all clients and nodes in a wireless network. The SSID must be identical for each clients and nodes in the wireless network. Site Survey: This button allows user to enable the Site Survey function to scan for the available wireless network (wireless clients and Access Points) and establish wireless communications with one. Selected one of them in list to establish communications and click "Connect" button. 15 Authentication Type: The authentication type default is set to Open system.
