Access Point Mode

8.1 Overview

Use your NBG-419N as an access point (AP) if you already have a router or
gateway on your network. In this mode your NBG-419N bridges a wired network
(LAN) and wireless LAN (WLAN) in the same subnet. See the figure below for an
example.

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

for an example of setting up a wireless network in

Access Point mode.
