4.1 Configuration 

Mode 

 
In this example, three work station act as wireless clients to communicate 
with the wireless router. Once all configuration has been done, wireless 
clients with the same SSID as the AP will be able to access wirelessly to 
PC1 via the wireless router 

 

 

 
 
 

For  Router 
 

Ensure that you have enabled the DHCP server in your router and that 
your wireless clients are set to receive their IP address dynamically so that 
the wireless router can assign an IP address to them. Note the wireless 
configuration settings of your router as shown in the figure above.
