6. Access Point Mode

6.1 Overview

Use your MWR211 as an access point (AP) if you already have a router or
gateway on your network. In this mode your MWR211 bridges a wired network
(LAN) and wireless LAN (WLAN) in the same subnet. See the figure below for an
example.

Figure 30

Wireless Internet Access in Access Point Mode

Many screens that are available in Router mode are not available in Access Point
mode, such as bandwidth management and firewall.

Note: See

Chapter 10

for an example of setting up a wireless network in Access Point

mode.
