3.1 Wandy 2R in WISP mode
In this setup we will configure the default Wandy 2R unit to connect to an AP with SSID gamma1 and use the build
in router function.
The default config of the Wandy 2R unit is WISP mode. The wireless interface is in WiFi client mode and
connected to the Ethernet interface trough a router.
The default IP number if the Ethernet interface is 192.168.1.1
Open the web interface of the Wandy 2R unit at IP 192.168.1.1
Select in the menu Wireless the option site survey
Press refresh to let the Wandy 2R unit make site survey
We connect to the wireless network with SSID gamma1 by selecting this network and pressing connect.
We now configure the Wandy 2R unit to get an IP address from the AP.
Open the menu TCP/IP and then WAN interface
Change WAN access Type to DHCP client to get an IP address form the AP to the Wandy 2R. Set the Attain DNS
Automatically. This will set automatically the DNS servers from the AP.
Press Apply Changes to make the setting effective
Click on status to see the current status of the unit
In the status screen we can see that the unit is connected to AP with SSID gamma1
The Wireless interface (WAN) does have IP number 192.168.16.105 with gateway 192.168.16.2
The LAN interface does have IP number 192.168.1.1 with a DHCP server enabled.
Signal strength is -76 dBm.
The Wandy 2R is connected to an access point and has a router between the wireless interface and the wired.
On the PC set the gateway to the wandy 2R unit 192.168.1.1 to complete the setup.
3.2 Wandy 2R in Bridge mode
In this setup we will configure the default Wandy 2R unit to connect to an AP with SSID gamma1 and make a
transparent connection between the wireless interface and wired.
Open the web interface of the Wandy 2R unit at IP 192.168.1.1
First change the operation mode of the Wandy 2R into bridge mode
Select in management Operation Mode
4 Concept of the Wandy 2R radio hardware
The Wandy 2R has two interfaces
Wireless interface
Wired interface
These two interfaces are connected together with or without a router between them.
In bridge mode the wireless and Ethernet are directly connected. No routing or translating is done. In this mode the
unit can be used as a transparent device. The Wandy 2R can be even in different IP range.
4.1 Wireless Interface
The wireless radio of the device can acts as the following roles.
AP (Access Point)
The wireless radio of device serves as communications “hub” for wireless clients and provides a connection to a
wired LAN.
AP Client
This mode provides the capability to connect with the other AP using infrastructure/Ad-hoc networking types. With
bridge operation mode, you can directly connect the wired Ethernet port to your PC and the device becomes a
wireless adapter. And with WISP operation mode, you can connect the wired Ethernet port to a hub/switch and all
the PCs connecting with hub/switch can share the same public IP address from your ISP.
WDS (Wireless Distribution System)
This mode serves as a wireless repeater, the device forwards the packets to another AP with WDS function. When
this mode is selected, all the wireless clients can’ survey and connect to the device. The device only allows the
WDS connection.
WDS+AP
This mode combines WDS plus AP modes, it not only allows WDS connections but also the wireless clients can
survey and connect to the device.
4.2 Wireless to Wired connection
The Wireless and Wired interface can be connected together with or without a router function.
Router
The wired Ethernet (WAN) port is used to connect with ADSL/Cable modem and the wireless NIC is used for your
private WLAN. The NAT is existed between the 2 NIC and all the wireless clients share the same public IP address
through the WAN port to ISP. The default IP configuration for WAN port is static IP. You can access the web server
of device through the default WAN IP address 172.1.1.1 and modify the setting base on your ISP requirement.
Bridge
The wired Ethernet and wireless NIC are bridged together. Once the mode is selected, all the WAN related
functions will be disabled.
WISP (Wireless ISP)
This mode can let you access the AP of your wireless ISP and share the same public IP address form your ISP to
the PCs connecting with the wired Ethernet port of the device. To use this mode, first you must set the wireless
radio to be client mode and connect to the AP of your ISP then you can configure the WAN IP configuration to meet
your ISP requirement.
The following table shows the supporting combination of operation and wireless radio modes.
