WISP‐WIRELESS ISP
A wireless Internet service provider (WISP) is an Internet service provider with a network based on
wireless networking. If you live in an area where Internet service is provided by a 2.4 GHz Wireless IEEE
802.11n signal or a 5 GHz Wireless IEEE 802.11ac signal, you can utilize the Intellinet Access Point as a
CPE (customer‐premises equipment). When you activate WISP mode, you will need to specify the SSID
of the WISP signal, along with the security settings if so required. You also need to define how the connection to the
WISP is established; i.e., DHCP, PPPoE, etc. After the obligatory reboot, the Intellinet Access Point wirelessly connects
to the WISP and provides local wireless access in your network.
As soon as you enter WISP mode, the Access Point begins
searching for available wireless signals in the area. Select
the wireless network
SSID
of your ISP. Keep in mind that
this Intellinet Access Point is equipped with a dual band
radio, capable of communicating with both 2.4 GHz and 5
GHz wireless devices. But while you may be picking up a mix
of both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks, you can only use one
wireless signal as your WISP source. Next, provide the
WiFi
Key
that allows you to access your ISP wireless network.
Finally, type in the name of the wireless networks, which
the Intellinet Access Point should broadcast for your local
wireless clients. You need to provide the
SSID
for both the
2.4 and 5 GHz network.
Click ‘Apply’ to activate the settings. The Access Point will
then perform a reboot. After this, you can re‐connect to the
admin web interface, and from there you have access to
advanced wireless settings.
Note: The wireless encryption key for your clients is the same as the encryption key of the WISP network.
