9.1 Overview
Your NBG-419N 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 NBG-419N (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 NBG-419N wirelessly connects to the
available access point (B).
Figure 48 Wireless Client Mode
After the NBG-419N and the access point connect, the NBG-419N acquires its
WAN IP address from the access point. The clients of the NBG-419N can now surf
the Internet.
