Client mode

When using the FortiWiFi unit in Client mode, the FortiWiFi unit is configured to
receive transmissions from another access point. This enables you to connect
remote users to an existing network using wireless protocols from a location that
does not have a wired infrastructure.
For example, in a warehouse where shipping and receiving are on opposite sides
of the building, running cables is not an option due to the warehouse environment.
The FortiWiFi unit can support wired users using its Ethernet ports and can
connect to another access point wirelessly as a Client. This connects the wired
users to the network using the 802.11 wireless standard as a backbone.
Note that wireless users cannot see or connect to the FortiWifi unit wirelessly in
Client mode.
