What are the differences between AP mode and STA mode of Bijie Multimedia Collaboration System?
The Bijie Multimedia Collaboration System supports AP mode and STA mode. What are the specific functions of these two modes and what are the differences?
AP mode is a wireless access point mode, similar to a wireless router. When a device is turned on and enters AP mode, its WiFi name will be displayed in the wireless LAN list of the phone. The phone can connect to the device’s WiFi network and interact with each other’s networks.
STA mode refers to Station mode, where Wi Fi operates in wireless terminal mode and connects to the network through an AP hotspot. In STA mode, any wireless network card can operate in this mode, which can also be referred to as default mode.
AP mode and STA mode are two different wireless network connection modes, with the main difference being that AP mode is a wireless access point mode that provides wireless access services, allows other wireless devices to access, and provides data access; And STA mode is wireless terminal mode, similar to wireless terminals, STA itself does not accept wireless access, but can connect to AP.
Specifically, AP mode is the creator of a wireless network and the central node of the network. The wireless router commonly used in homes or offices is an AP. In AP mode, it is possible to set up a wireless network, and other devices can connect to the hotspot to achieve wireless internet access. AP and AP are allowed to connect to each other.
In STA mode, every terminal connected to a wireless network (such as laptops, PDAs, and other user devices that can be connected to the network) can be called a station. STA itself does not accept wireless access, but can connect to APs. In STA mode, the WiFi module operates in CLIENT mode, and with appropriate settings, it can convert data with wireless network data.
In short, the main difference between AP mode and STA mode is that AP provides wireless access services and is the central node of the network, while STA is the terminal connected to AP and does not accept wireless access itself.
