WIRELESS CLIENT

The Mini Broadband Router can operate as a wireless client on one SSID interface, which enables a connection to another Wi-Fi network. When the wireless client option is enabled, the client SSID interface functions as an external gateway WAN port, and the other SSID interface and LAN ports all function as the local network within the same IP subnet.
