2.5.9 Setup Procedure for WISP (Wireless ISP)

Wireless Internet service providers (WISPs) are Internet service providers with

networks built around wireless networking. Typically, WISPs are found in rural areas

with small populations, where cable and digital subscriber lines are not available.

The Intellinet Wireless 450N Dual-Band Router can receive a 2.4 or 5.0 GHz WiFi-

based WISP signal and can share it among the clients, which are connected locally,

pretty much the same way it does with cable or DSL connections. This function can

also be used if a wireless signal (from a wireless router, for example) is already

present in the location, but you want to create another network behind the Intellinet

Dual-Band Router. NOTE: If you do not understand any of this or if you don't believe

you need to take advantage of this feature, you can safely skip to the next chapter.

Disable — By default, the WISP mode is deactivated until you enable it.

Enable — Click to enable the function. Select the wireless band and click "Site

Survey" to search for wireless signals that offer Internet service. In this mode, the

Intellinet Dual-Band Router uses its wireless function to pick up the wireless ISP

signal and, at the same time, allow wireless clients to connect and go online.

Enable (Station Mode Only) — This is similar to the "Enable" mode, with the

difference being that in "Station Mode Only" no wireless client can connect to the

Intellinet Dual-Band Router. The wireless function is used exclusively for the

wireless broadband (WISP) signal. Only stations that are connected to one of

the LAN ports can utilize the WISP connection.

SSID — Enter the name of the wireless network that you want to connect to, or

click "Site Survey" and let the router search all available networks for you and

enter the SSID automatically.

Channel Number — This is the radio frequency used to transmit and receive the

wireless signal. Enter it manually or click "Site Survey" and let the router search
