CHAPTER 10
WISP Mode
10.1 Overview
Your Router can act as a wireless client. In wireless client mode, it can connect to an existing
network via an access point. Use this mode if you already have an access point or router in your
network.
In the example below, one Router (A) is configured as a wireless client and another is used as an
access point (B). The wireless client has two clients that need to connect to the Internet. The
Router wirelessly connects to the available access point (B).
Figure 53 Wireless Client Mode
After the Router and the access point connect, the Router acquires its WAN IP address from the
access point. The clients of the Router can now surf the Internet.
10.2 What You Can Do
•Use the Status screen (Section 10.4 on page 78) to view read-only information about your
Router.
•Use the LAN screen (Chapter 14 on page 131) to set the IP address for your Router acting as an
access point.
•Use the Wireless LAN screen (Section 10.5 on page 80) to associate your Router (acting as a
wireless client) with an existing access point.
10.3 What You Need to Know
With the exception of the LAN screen, the Monitor, Configuration and Maintainance screens in
WISP mode are similar to the ones in Router Mode. See Chapter 12 on page 101 through Chapter
25 on page 187 of this User’s Guide.
