Client Mode
4.1 Overview
Your WAP3205 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 wireless router in your network.
In the example below, one WAP3205 (A) is configured as a wireless client and another is used as an access point (B). The WAP3205 has two clients that need to connect to the Internet. The WAP3205 wirelessly connects to the available access point (B).
