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,
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
CPE
wirelessly
connects
to
the
WISP,
and
also
provides
local
wireless
access
in
your
network.
Click
on
Scan
to
search
for
available
wireless
signals
in
the
area.
Select
the
wireless
network
(“wlan_ISP”
in
the
example
above),
and
the
channel,
security
mode
and
WLAN
Encrypt
will
be
filled
out
automatically.
Type
in
the
password
for
the
wireless
network
in
the
field
WPA
Key
.
Note
that
this
is
only
required
if
the
WISP
signal
uses
WPA
encryption.
Should
the
WISP
signal
use
WEP
encryption,
the
interface
presents
you
with
slightly
different
fields
that
need
to
be
filled
out,
namely
the
WEP
key
type,
key
identifier
and
the
actual
WEP
key
fields.
Lock
BSSID
makes
sure
that
the
Intellinet
CPE
Access
Point
will
always
connect
to
this
WISP
signal,
even
if
the
name
of
the
WISP
signal
were
to
ever
change.
