Using the Access Point Mode
Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only.
The Router can be configured to work as a wireless network access point.
Using this mode will defeat the NAT IP sharing feature and DHCP server.
In Access Point (AP) mode, the Router will need to be configured with an
IP address that is in the same subnet as the rest of the network that you
will bridge to. The default IP address is 192.168.2.254 and subnet mask is
255.255.255.0. These can be customized for your need.
1. Enable the AP mode my selecting “Enable” in the “Use as Access Point
only” page. When you select this option, you will be able to change the
IP settings.
2. Set your IP settings to match your network. Click “Apply Changes”.
3. Connect a cable from the WAN port on the Router to your
existing network.
The Router is now acting as an access point. To access the Router’s
Web-Based Advanced User Interface again, type the IP address you specified
into your browser’s navigation bar. You can set the encryption settings, MAC
address filtering, SSID, and channel normally.
