When the WAN wireless link goes down the LAN wireless does
not
stay connected. The sequence of events
is as follows:
•
When the WAN wireless goes down, the MM2211 reverts to pure station mode. The LAN wireless goes down.
•
The MM2211 then goes into scan move to search for an alternate access point with the same SSID.
•
If such an access point is found, The MM2211 will connect to that SSID.
•
The MM2211 will then restart the LAN wireless.
•
All wireless devices that are part of the LAN will automatically reassociate with the LAN wireless.
