How to Configure the MERCUSYS Wireless N Router as a wireless Access Point (for MW155R)?

Dieser Artikel gilt für:

This article will explain how to use your MERCUSYS N router as an access point. The main router will be connected to the MERCUSYS N router via LAN port (as seen below). The WAN port is not used for this configuration.

                                

 

Step 1

Connect your computer to a second LAN port on your MERCUSYS N router using an Ethernet cable. Login to the MERCUSYS web interface through the domain name listed on the label on the bottom of your MERCUSYS N router (see below link for assistance):

How to log into the web-based interface of the MERCUSYS Wireless N Router.

Note: Though possible, it is not recommended to attempt this process over Wi-Fi.

Step 2

Go to Network>LAN Settings on the side menu, choose Manual and change the LAN IP address of your MERCUSYS N router to an IP address on the same segment of the main router. This IP address should be outside the main router’s DHCP range.

Example: If your DHCP is 192.168.2.100 – 192.168.2.199 then you can set the IP to 192.168.2.11

Note: When you click Save, a window will pop up to remind you the change of LAN IP address won’t take affect after the router reboot, just click OK to continue.

Step 3

Go to Wireless>Basic Settings and configure the SSID (Network name). Select Save.

 

Step 4

Go to Wireless>Wireless Security and configure the wireless security. WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK is recommended as the most secure option.  Once configured, click Save.

 

Step 5

Go to DHCP>DHCP Settings, disable DHCP Server, hit Save.

 

Step 6

Go to System Tools>Reboot, and click the Reboot button.

Step 7

Use an Ethernet cable to connect the main router to your MERCUSYS N router through their LAN ports (any LAN ports may be used). All other LAN ports on your MERCUSYS N router will now grant devices Internet access. Alternatively, any Wi-Fi device can now access the Internet through your MERCUSYS N router by using the SSID and Password set up in the above steps.
