Enter a name for your wireless network into “Wireless Network Name
(SSID)”.
Click “Save“.
Wireless -> Wireless Security
Choose and configure your desired security mode.
Please note that
WEP is insecure and should only be used if no other option is
available.
Click “Apply Settings“
You can now connect the router to the Internet and your local network.
If you’re running a DHCP server in your LAN, connected wireless
devices will get their IP addresses from the server.
3.2.
Wireless Client
The router can be also used as a wireless LAN client. This can be
useful if you want to connect devices to your wireless LAN that do not
have a wireless LAN interface. In this configuration, the wireless LAN
interface acts as a wireless client.
Attached wired Ethernet devices
can also access the WAN through the wireless connection.
Setup -> Basic Setup
WAN Setup
o
Set “Connection Type“ to “DHCP” to have the AirStation get its IP
address from a DHCP server, or to a “Static IP“ if no DHCP server
is available.
Network Setup
o
Enter the desired LAN-side IP address for the router in “Router
IP“.
o
Set the “DHCP Type“ to “DHCP Server“ (this is the default setting).
o

Wireless -> Basic Settings
Enter your country in “Regulatory Domain”
In the “Antenna Gain“ field, please enter the gain of your
AirStation’s antenna. The firmware will adjust the transmit power
automatically to meet regulatory requirements. Please note that the
use of a long extension cable for your antenna will reduce the
usable antenna gain.
Configure “Wireless Mode“ to “Client“.
Configure “Wireless Network Mode” to match the capabilities of the
access point you want to connect to.
Enter the network name (SSID) of the AP you want to connect to into
“Wireless Network Name (SSID)”.
Click “Save“.
Wireless -> Wireless Security
Configure the security mode to match the security settings of the
access point you want to connect to.
Click “Apply Settings“.
After the router reboots, please confirm that it has connected to the
access point. If there is a DHCP server available on the access point
side, and the router is configured to request an IP address, then it
should receive an IP address for its WAN-side interface.
You can now either connect wired clients to the access point or
configure another wireless network interface as an access point to
grant access to wireless clients.
3.3.
Wireless Client Bridge
A wireless client bridge offers the ability to transparently integrate
the router’s LAN into a different LAN that another access point is
connected to. Clients connected to such a router can access devices in
both LANs and vice versa. In that configuration the router’s WAN
interface is disabled.
