Configure the Wi-Fi Access Point and Router
The router to be used as an access point is to be connected to a host router.
Many routers have the option to convert it to an access point by selecting just one option.
Just select the Access Point mode and you are good to go.
Nevertheless, not all the routers include this feature and may have to be configured
manually.
Take care of the following things before you configure your router to be an Access Point:
•
Disable UPnP.
•
Disable DHCP.
•
Disable features that depend upon WAN: Virtual Server, SPI and Firewall,
Application and Port Forward Rules, Access Control and Web Filters, Time, WISH
and WPS.
•
Change the IP address of the LAN on your network to an available address.
The essential information to know (provided by the user's manual of the device) is its IP
address, so that you can connect to the device configuration page using your favourite
browser.
