Client mode
To connect individual devices with an Ethernet interface into a wireless LAN,
LANCOM devices with a WLAN module can be switched to "client mode",
whereupon they act as conventional wireless LAN adapters and not as access
points (AP). The use of client mode therefore allows devices fitted with only
an Ethernet interface, such as PCs and printers, to be integrated into a wire-
less LAN.
Multiple WLAN clients can register with a WLAN device in AP mode,
which is not the case for a WLAN device in client mode.

Client settings
For LANCOM Access Points and LANCOM Wireless Routers in client mode, fur-
ther settings/client behavior can be configured from the 'Client mode' tab
under the settings for the physical interfaces.
The configuration of the client settings can also be carried out with
the WLAN Wizards in LANconfig.
