Wi-Fi

Per the default configuration profile, there will be one available SSID.
Wi-Fi-enabled SRs can broadcast up to a total of 8 WLAN SSIDs simultaneously. To create additional
SSIDs or to change the configuration of existing ones:
1. Navigate to the device's (or group) Configuration page.
2. Expand Network > WiFi.
3. Verify that Enabled is selected and adjust the Channel and Beacon Interval if necessary.
4. Expand the Access Points menu to view existing SSIDs or create new ones.
5. Each WLAN AP is listed as its own collapsible menu featuring:
Enabled status box

6. To create a new AP, specify its name in the corresponding text field and click the Add button.

Client mode

In addition to serving as an independent WLAN Access Point, the Digi 6350-SR Wi-Fi can broadcast in
Client Mode to serve as a supplemental AP to relay Wi-Fi originating from another Wi-Fi-enabled
router by entering that network's SSID and Pre-shared key.

Wi-Fi as WAN

Client Mode can also be used to leverage the Digi 6350-SR Wi-Fi to relay Internet access (WAN)
provided by another router's wireless AP.
Before configuring the Digi6350-SR for Wi-Fi-as-WAN (WaW) Client Mode, identify the SSID that the Digi
6350-SR should connect to, including its broadcasting channel, authentication details for the SSID, and
interface prioritization for the WaW connection (that is, should it take precedence over the WAN
Ethernet port).
1. Under Network > WiFi > Client mode connections, create a new entry named testclient. The
name can be different if desired.
2. Enter the Channel and authentication credentials for the SSID of the secondary wireless
router.
3. Under Network > Interfaces, create a new entry named WiFiasWAN.
Note For details on how to create new interfaces, see
1. Set the Zone for the new interface to External.
2. Set the Device for the new interface to WLAN Client: testclient
3. Under IPv4, set the Interface type to DHCP address.
