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 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 LAN port on the Router to your
existing network.
The Router is now acting as an access point. To access the Router 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.
