This article contains instructions on how to extend RUT956 router hotspot network using TAP100 access point.

This article provides instructions on how to expand the hotspot network of the RUT956 router using the TAP100 access point. It's important to clarify that TAP100 cannot function as an independent hotspot network - it serves as an access point. The network management and control will be handled by the RUT device, with the TAP100 extending the coverage area.
