2.4. Configuration 4: NAS Router -
Wired Only
The Wireless Space creates its own network and connects directly
to the existing wide area network (WAN) for access to the Internet.
The Wireless Space connects to the WAN using an Ethernet cable.
Devices connected to the Wireless Space LAN ports have access to
its shared storage.
Case Examples
✦ A second network is created for security or to separate devices
on an existing network. The Wi-Fi access point is not enabled.
✦ A router, switch, or Internet provider does not offer network
management capabilities. The Wireless Space creates a net-
work for a home or business in order to connect multiple cli-
ents to the WAN. The Wi-Fi access point is not enabled.
✦ A router, switch, or Internet provider offers limited network
management capabilities. The Wireless Space creates a more
advanced network for a home or business. The Wi-Fi access
point is not enabled.
See 4.3. Configuration 4: Router - Wired Only for more information
on how to set up this configuration.
