WISP Mode

12.1 Overview

Your NBG4615 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 NBG4615 (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 NBG4615 wirelessly connects to the available access point (B).

After the NBG4615 and the access point connect, the NBG4615 acquires its WAN IP address from the access point. The clients of the NBG4615 can now surf the Internet.

12.2What You Can Do

•Use the Status screen to view read-only information about your NBG4615 (Section 11.5 on page 84).

•Use the LAN screen to set the IP address for your NBG4615 acting as an access point (Section 10.5 on page 80).

•Use the Wireless LAN screen to associate your NBG4615 (acting as a wireless client) with an existing access point (Section 12.5 on page 95).
