WISP (CPE) + AP Mode
WISP (CPE) + AP mode is typically used to provide Internet connectivity to buildings in
remote areas where telco hard wired service lines for Internet service (such as DSL or
cable) are scarce or unavailable and Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) are the
only means of establishing Internet connectivity. In this case, the device functions
similar to that of a router except the wireless interface of the AP serves the purpose of
WAN (Internet) connectivity to the WISP wireless network and NAT functions performed
between the wireless WAN connection to the WISP and the LAN (wired Ethernet ports
LAN1/2 and AP wireless WLAN network). Additionally, DHCP server, virtual server/DMZ,
MAC/IP filter functions will be available for access control similar to simple NAT router.
1. Log into your access point management page (see “Access your access point
management page” on page 28).
2. Click System and click on Mode Setup.
3. Select WISP (CPE) + AP Mode in the mode drop down list. Then click Save & Reboot.
Set the device LAN IP address settings
System > LAN Setup
To set the IP address, gateway, and DNS settings, click on System and click on LAN
Setup. Click Save when you have completed your settings.
Configure the LAN DHCP Server
System > DHCP Setup
To setup the DHCP Server for LAN and WLAN clients, click on System and click on DHCP

Mode – Enable or Disable the DHCP service.
Start IP: Enter the first IP address of the IP address range/pool to distribute to DHCP
client devices. (ex. 192.168.10.101)
End IP: Enter the last IP address of the IP address range/pool to distribute to DHCP
client devices. (ex. 192.168.10.199)
Netmask: Enter the subnet mask to distribute to DHCP client devices. (ex.
255.255.255.0)
Gateway: Enter the default gateway IP address to distribute to DHCP client devices.
This should typically be the LAN IP of the device when using WISP (CPE) + AP mode.
(ex. 192.168.10.100)
DNS1 IP: Enter the IP address of the primary DNS server to distribute to DHCP client
devices.
