7.1 Overview

Your WAP3205 can act as a wireless client. In wireless client mode, it can connect
to an existing network via an access point. Use this mode if you already have an
access point or wireless router in your network.
In the example below, one WAP3205 (A) is configured as a wireless client and
another is used as an access point (B). The WAP3205 has two clients that need to
connect to the Internet. The WAP3205 wirelessly connects to the available access
point (B).

After the WAP3205 and the access point connect, the WAP3205 acquires its WAN
IP address from the access point. The clients of the WAP3205 can now surf the
Internet.
