Wi-Fi interfaces
Depending on the model, a Digi TransPort router has one or two Wi-Fi modules. You can configure a Wi-
Fi module for either Wi-Fi access point mode or Wi-Fi client mode. By default, both Wi-Fi modules are
configured as Access Points.
Typically, you configure one Wi-Fi module as one or multiple access points and configure the other
module, connected to a separate set of antennas, as a Wi-Fi client to be used as a WAN interface.
Access point mode
If you configure a Wi-Fi module in access point mode, the module can support up to four access points.
If both Wi-Fi modules are configured in access point mode, the router can support up to eight access
points assigned the following names:
Wi-Fi module Access point interfaces Client Supported protocols
Wi-Fi module 1
wifi-ap1, wifi-ap2, wifi-ap3, wifi-ap4
wifi-client1
bgn
ac
Wi-Fi module 2 wifi-ap5, wifi-ap6, wifi-ap7, wifi-ap8 wifi-client2 ac
See Configure a Wi-Fi access point with no security and Configure a Wi-Fi access point with enterprise
security
Client mode
If you configure a Wi-Fi module in client mode, you can configure one Wi-Fi client per module. The client
for module 1 is Wi-Fi client 1; the client for module 2 is Wi-Fi client 2.
Wi-Fi module Client
Wi-Fi module 1
Wi-Fi client 1
Wi-Fi module 2 Wi-Fi client 2
To use one of the modules as a WAN interface, configure the module as a client, configure the SSIDs
for the Wi-Fi network(s) to which you would like the router to join, and then assign client to a WAN
interface. See Configure a Wi-Fi client and add client networks.
