Overview
Wireless interface in any of station modes will search for acceptable access point (AP) and connect to it. The connection between station and AP will behave in slightly different way depending on type of station mode used, so correct mode must be chosen for given application and equipment. This article attempts to describe differences between available station modes.

This mode is supported for all wireless protocols.
