NB3710 User Manual 3.8

5.3.4. WLAN

WLAN Management

In case your router is shipping with a WLAN (or Wi-Fi) module you can operate it
either as client or access point. As a client it can create an additional WAN link
which for instance can be used as backup link. As access point, it can form another LAN
interface which can be either bridged to an Ethernet-based LAN interface or create a
self-contained IP interface which can be used for routing and to provide services (such
as DHCP/DNS/NTP) in the same way like an Ethernet LAN interface does.
Figure 5.12.: WLAN Management
If the administrative status is set to disabled, the module will be powered off in order
to reduce the overall power consumption. Regarding antennas, we generally recommend
using two antennas for better coverage and throughput. A second antenna is definitely
mandatory if you want to achieve higher throughput rates as in 802.11n.
A WLAN client will automatically became a WAN link and can be managed as de-
scribed in chapter 5.3.1.
