The Router can be configured to work as a wireless network access point. Using this mode will defeat the NAT IP sharing feature and DHCP server. In Access Point (AP) mode, the Router will need to be configured with an IP address that is in the same subnet as the rest of the network that you will bridge to. The default IP address is 192.168.2.254 and subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. These can be customized for your need. 1. Enable the AP mode my selecting "Enable" in the "Use as Access Point only" page. When you select this option, you will be able to change the IP settings. 2. Set your IP settings to match your network. Click "Apply Changes". 3. Connect a cable from the WAN port on the Router to your existing network. The Router is now acting as an access point.
