The Mini Broadband Router can operate as a wireless client on one SSID
interface, which enables a connection to another Wi-Fi network. When the
wireless client option is enabled, the client SSID interface functions as an
external gateway WAN port. When the wireless client option is enabled as a
LAN connection, the other SSID interface and LAN ports all function as the
local network within the same IP subnet.
