beconguredasan:AccessPoint,ClientBridgeorWDS(AP,
Station & Bridge). The EnStationAC is designed to operate in
a variety of outdoor environments. Its high-powered, long-
range characteristics make it a cost effective alternative to
ordinary Access Points that don’t have the range and reach
to connect to a growing number of wireless CPEs who
