Setting up a Wi-Fi Access Point Wireless Network
This turns the controller into a Wi-Fi access point that other wireless clients can use to have network
access. This access point operates off of the same subnetwork and has the same IP connectivity that
the controller has with its wired network connection. For example, if the controller’s wired connection is
to a network that has an active DHCP server, access point clients can also use this DHCP server to
automatically configure their IP connection parameters. See Wi-Fi Access Point for more information.
