2.2. Configuration 2: NAS Wireless
Client
The Wireless Space joins an existing Wi-Fi network to:
✦ Provide wireless network attached storage
✦ Extend Ethernet connectivity
Case Example
The router, switch, or Internet provider offers sufficient management
and Wi-Fi features for the network. However, there is a need for
network attached storage. Additionally, devices that are not Wi-Fi
compatible and located at a distance require Ethernet connectivity
to join the network.
The Wireless Space connects to the network as a Wi-Fi client, mak-
ing the storage available to devices on the network. Further, the
computers and devices that require wired connectivity may use the
Wireless Space’s Ethernet ports to reach the network.
See 3.3. Configuration 2: NAS Wireless Client for more information
on how to set up this configuration.
