Client mode
In addition to serving as an independent WLAN Access Point, the Digi 6350-SR Wi-Fi can broadcast in
Client Mode
to serve as a supplemental AP to relay Wi-Fi originating from another Wi-Fi-enabled
router by entering that network's
SSID
and
Pre-shared key
.
Wi-Fi as WAN
Client Mode can also be used to leverage the Digi 6350-SR Wi-Fi to relay Internet access (WAN)
provided by another router's wireless AP.
Before configuring the Digi6350-SR for Wi-Fi-as-WAN (WaW) Client Mode, identify the SSID that the Digi
6350-SR should connect to, including its broadcasting channel, authentication details for the SSID, and
interface prioritization for the WaW connection (that is, should it take precedence over the WAN
Ethernet port).
1. Under
Network > WiFi > Client mode connections
, create a new entry named
testclient
. The
name can be different if desired.
2. Enter the
Channel
and
authentication credentials
for the SSID of the secondary wireless
router.
3. Under
Network > Interfaces
, create a new entry named
WiFiasWAN
.
Note
For details on how to create new interfaces, see
