Uplink Profile

This device provides a Wi-Fi Uplink function for connecting to a wireless access point just like connecting to a wired WAN or
cellular WAN connection. It can operate as a NAT gateway and link the devices wirelessly to the uplink network or hosts.
To connect to the wireless access point, you must enable the wireless Uplink function (refer to Basic Network > WAN &
Uplink > Physical Interface, Internet Setup tabs) first, and then configure the Uplink profile(s) for the access point to be
connected to in the Uplink Profile page.
Go to Basic Network > Wi-Fi > Uplink Profile tab to configure the Uplink Profile page.
