Quick Start Guides Simple Access Point (Dual AP) The DLB70XX series have two wireless radios: one 802.11A and one 802.11B/G. Sometimes it is desirable to provide customers with all three wireless standards, so this example shows how to create a bridged Access Point using both the 802.11A radio and the 802.11B/G radio. The Operation Mode needs to be set to Bridge. This bridges both wireless interfaces and the ethernet interface.
Follow the same steps for wlan2. In the Wireless > wlan2 > Basic Settings section: uncheck “Disable Wireless LAN Interface” checkbox. Set the Mode to “AP”. Assign the SSID. For this example we used DLB_AP_A since this is the 802.11A interface. For ease of management, it might be beneficial to change the LAN IP address to reside on the same subnet as the other PCs in your bridged network.
5G Backhaul (WDS) / 2.4G AP (Bridged) 5G Backhaul (WDS) / 2.4G AP (Routed) 5G AP Client / 2.4G AP Dual Backhaul with STP Access Point Client Mode This device can be configured as a wireless Ethernet adapter. In this mode, the device can connect to the other wireless stations (Ad-Hoc network type) or Access Point (Infrastructure network type) and you don’t need to install any driver. In “Basic Settings” page, change the Mode to “Client” mode.
The alternative way to configure is as follows: In the “Wireless Site Survey” page, select one of the SSIDs you want to connect and then press “Connect” button to establish the link. 2 1 3 If the link is established successfully it will show the message “Connect successfully”. Then press “OK”. Then you can check the linking information in “Status” page.
encryption before step1 and all the settings must be as same as the Access Point or Station. For more information about the detail authentication and data encryption settings, please refer the security section. Authentication Type In client mode, the device also supports two Authentication Types “Open system” and “Shared Key”. Although the default setting is “Auto”, not every Access Points can support “Auto” mode.
Wireless Setup Initial Configuration There are two ways to configure the device, one is through web-browser, and the other is through Secure Shell CLI interface. To access the configuration interfaces, make sure you are using a computer connected to the same network as the device. The default IP address of the device is 192.168.2.254, and the subnet-mask is 255.255.255.0. The device has three operation modes (Router/Bridge/WISP).
Router In this operation mode, the wired Ethernet (WAN) port is used to connect with an ADSL/Cable modem and the wireless NIC is used for your private WLAN. The NAT is enabled between the 2 NICs, and all the wireless clients share the same public IP address through the WAN port to the ISP. The default IP configuration for the WAN port is static IP. You can access the web server of device through the default WAN IP address 172.1.1.1 and modify the setting base on your ISP requirement.
AP Client This mode provides the capability to connect with another AP using infrastructure/Ad-hoc networking types. With bridge operation mode, you can directly connect the wired Ethernet port to your PC and the device becomes a wireless adapter. And with WISP operation mode, you can connect the wired Ethernet port to a hub/switch and all the PCs connecting with the hub/switch can share the same public IP address from your ISP.
