Shown in Figure 37, enter the SSID and

the DNS Server IP. Hit the “Finish” button

to complete the setup. The router will

reboot and start functioning as a point

node.

Figure 37. Step 3 Complete Portal Node Setup.

Once the setup is completed, each of the DWR-500 will automatically discover other nodes and form a

wireless mesh network. The portal node should have an Ethernet connection. Both the portal and AP will

then be able to service clients and access the Internet through the portal.

Note:

The scope of this document does not cover tuning the mesh network for total coverage. For more detailed

configuration instructions, please refer to the respective guides available in the CD-ROM.
