1 Quick Start

WF-96A can work as the point to point wireless AP. WF-96A can be bridged and provide

the high speed wireless connection between two networks. In some cases, it is difficult to

connect two wire networks, such as across the river or in the high buildings. WF-96A is an

ideal resolution in this scenario. The higher transmitter power make the transmission

distance reach 2km.
