A.1.2 Client Bridge Mode

In Client Bridge Mode, the EOA7530 acts as a wireless dongle that connects to an Access Point to gain wireless access to the Internet. This mode requires you to connect the Ethernet port on your PC to the EOA7530 10/100 LAN port.

If you use the client bridge operating mode, use the EOA7530 Site Survey feature (described on page

36)to scan for Access Points within range. When you find an Access Point, configure the EOA7530 to use the same SSID and Security Password as the Access Point to associate with it.

A.1.2 Client Router Mode

In the Client Router Mode, the EOA7530 grants Internet access to multiple LANs. In this mode, the EOA7530’s internal Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server automatically allocates ranges of IP addresses to each LAN that will access the Internet through the EOA7530.

This mode requires you to connect the EOA7530 wirelessly to an Access Point or Wireless Access Point (such as another EOA7530 configured to use the Access Point operating mode) and then connect the LANs to the EOA7530 using a wired connection.
