7. WISP Mode
7.1 Overview
Your MWR222 can receive a WAN IP address from an 802.11 WIFI connection. In
WISP mode, it can connect to an existing network via an access point. Use this
mode if your Internet Service Provider allows you to connect to their network via
802.11 WIFI. This mode is meant to allow a Public IP address to be received via a
Wi-Fi connection. If when you connect your MWR222 to an access point you
receive a Private IP address (i.e. 192.168.10.1), you may be able to get on line,
but certain applications (gaming, video streaming) may not work.
The WISP mode is not a simple “Wireless Bridge” because in a wireless bridge
there is no routing done on the device. In WISP mode the MWR222 still acts as a
router/firewall and will therefore cause problems if connected to another
router/firewall. The MWR222 must be connecting to some type of non-routing
wireless access point in order to connect properly.
In the example below, the MWR222 is configured in WISP mode The wireless router
has one clients that need to connect to the Internet. The MWR222 wirelessly
connects to the available access point
Figure 22 WISP Mode
After the MWR222 and the access point connect, the MWR222 acquires its Public
WAN IP address from the access point. The clients of the MWR222 can now surf
the Internet.
