What is client mode?

We already have an existing Time Capsule that is serving as both a backup drive as well as the router. Another Time Capsule was ordered to serve only as a backup drive but I have never set this up.  I read that if I simply want it to be a backup drive to join it to the network in "Client Mode".  Does this mean on a users workstation via the airport utility?

I don't remember anywhere it says client mode.. as a specific mode of the TC.. we normally say it is either in router or bridge mode..
But if you connect it to the existing network by wireless, then you are using it in client mode.. Wireless client can be done a couple of different ways.. but you normally would set allow the wireless to be extended, on the existing TC, and use wireless extend mode on the new one.
Let me say.. this is fine if your needs are low, because double hop wireless you create is much slower than direct connection. It is also possible to use ethernet in this setup.. so the TC connects by wireless to the rest of the network but the local computers connect by ethernet.. then the back is fast.
Tell us how you want it setup and we can then give exact instructions.

  • How to Connect Airport Express to Existing Wireless Network (Client Mode)

    I am posting this for everyone tearing their hair out trying to connect the Airport Express to your own existing home wireless network. After spending 2 hours last night installing this on my father-in-law's home network, I hope to be able to save someone else the agony we went through.
    So here's the situation:
    Say you already have your own home network set up, and all you want is to be able to use AirTunes to play music off iTunes into your speaker system. And, you don't need the printer sharing capability nor creation of another wireless network (2 of the features of Airport Express). Then this solution is for you - read on.
    Unfortunately, Apple's user manual is very unclear how to connect Airport Express to your own network. When you look at the picture diagram they provide, they show Airport Express picking up its signal from another Apple-oriented base. This can make you think you need to buy another piece of hardware to make it work. DON'T If you read through the manual, the Support section here, etc., you will hear lots of talk about "Client Mode" - and that this is the only way to get it to work. Nice - but no one really tells you how to set up the Airport in client mode.
    Do yourself a favor, toss that user manual aside and run these steps.
    (Note: These directions assume your DSL/Cable Modem is hooked up to a wireless router or acts as its own wireless router)
    1. Get a cat5 Ethernet cable (anything but an orange cable - that's a crossover cable) like you would use to connect your PC to your router to pick up the Internet.
    2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the router on one end, and to the Airport Express unit on the other end.
    3. Plug in your Airport Express unit to the wall (this will not necessarily become its permanent location - you will be able to move it later). The light will glow solid Amber for about 30-45 seconds while it starts up, then blink Amber. At this point, the unit is ready to operate.
    4. Install the CD to the PC where your iTunes music is stored. This should be painless. Once you open the program, it should detect the Airport unit.
    5. At this point, the on-screen wizard will present you with your options, and walk you through the setup. This is much like the user manual describes - and you should be good to go form here forward.
    Some pointers:
    - When asked if you want to create a new network, join an existing network, or connect via Ethernet, choose the middle option for joining an existing network. You will need to know the name of your network, the password to connect to the network (if present), and the type of encryption used on the network (e.g. WEP, WPA, etc.). Side note, WPA is recommended, as it is a higher level of security than WEP. You will be able to configure the Airport Express unit to automatically login to your network.
    - I would recommend, when creating a password for the Airport Express unit, use the same password as your network, to avoid confusion.
    6. The very last step will ask you to save the settings to the Airport Express. Here's the kicker - when you save the settings, you are TRICKING the Airport Express into no longer acting as a network broadcaster, but instead being a "slave" to your own network. What do I mean? You will lose the connection from your PC to the Airport Express - an error message will pop up telling you the unit can no longer be found. While you might think you did something wrong, you actually were successful!
    7. Unplug your Airport Express, and disconnect the Ethernet cable from your router and the Airport unit. This will no longer be needed.
    8. Go to your desired location where you want to plug in your Airport Express unit. Before plugging it in, connect your Audio cable from the Airport Express to your audio receiver. Once that is connected, then plug in the Airport Express unit. The light will glow solid Amber for 30-45 seconds while it loads, and then will blink Amber for a brief period of time before turning solid GREEN. When this happens, you have successfully connected the Airport Express to your home network!
    9. Go back to your PC with iTunes. Open the Airport software - you should now have a listing for your Airport Express unit in the upper left. Click on this, and the wizard will guide you through connecting - you will need the password you created for the unit. You only need to go through this wizard once, and when finished, the software will tell you that can now use iTunes with your Airport unit.
    10. Open iTunes. On the lower right, you will see a dropdown for Speakers, and it should be defaulted to My Computer. Click on that drop-down, and you will see the name of your Airport unit. Click on that name, and now your music will broadcast to the Airport unit!
    11. Play a song in iTunes. Go to your audio receiver, and connect it to the channel for your external connection to the Airport Express unit. You should hear your music from iTunes. CONGRATULATIONS! =)
    I hope these instructions were helpful - I am happy to answer any questions, so feel free to contact me, *******************@*****.**.
    <Edited by Moderator>

    Thanks for the detailed directions. You are absolutely correct in stating that people should toss the user manual; it's pretty worthless. I have had a problem setting up my new Airport Express as I have described in an earlier post - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1839873&tstart=45
    One quick question - does using your setup process set the AE up as part of a distributed network where the AE is acting as a wireless router where it is extending the range of your network? Or, is it simply a wireless connection to your stereo for iTunes? I am interested in having both, since my AE will be at the other end of the house from the main wireless router.
    Thanks

  • Join AirPort Express to D-Link DGL4300 router in client mode not working

    I only want to be able to stream iTunes to my AirPort Express via my existing network which is controlled by my D-Link DGL-4300 router.
    My AirPort Express works as an iTunes streamer because I tested it running its own network (ignoring the existing D-Link network). I am trying to connect in client mode (I think), but my D-Link router just can't see the AirPort Express which seems to disappear off the radar after it restarts with the new settings.
    This is what happens...
    1. AirPort Express Hard Reset
    2. Connect to Airport Express wireless network (which disconnects me from my D-Link DGL4300 wireless network “K1000578”)
    3. Run AirPort Utility and enter “Assist Me” mode.
    4. Set AirPort Express name and password then click continue.
    5. Select “I have a wireless network and want to add AirPort Express or replace an existing device on my network” then click continue.
    6. Select “I want AirPort Express to join my current network”
    7. Select the name of my D-Link DGL4300 network “K1000578” from the drop down box, select WPA/WPA2 Personal wireless security type and enter the DGL4300 password, then click continue.
    8. Click Update in the summary screen.
    What happens then is...
    MESSAGE BOX “Apple wireless device restarting. Please wait...”
    MESSAGE BOX “Connecting to network ‘K1000578’. Please wait...”
    AirPort Utility returns with a message advising that although the device was successfully updated, AirPort utility was unable to find it after restarting. It also suggests that I made need to reselect my network for the AirPort menu and try again.
    My computer is now unable to even see the AirPort express device.
    When I try to reconnect to my existing DGL4300 network “K1000578”, it says that the settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network. !! ***!!
    I can fix the last part above by deleting the connection information for my DGL4300 and searching for it again. BUT HOW ON EARTH DO I CONNECT MY AIRPORT EXPRESS TO MY NETWORK?!!
    I am able to connect my PC directly to the AirPort Express (if I set it up as its own network) and successfully stream iTunes, but this means I have to disconnect from my DGL4300 network also which means I won’t get internet on that machine and I can’t use my iPhone Remote App.
    This is my second experience with Apples “it just works” philosophy. MobileMe was my first. Guess how I’m feeling!
    Any help at all is kindly appreciated.

    I forgot to mention, I have turned off the MAC address filters on my router, so that's not the cause.

  • Does the WAN port in client mode on the Airport Express?

    On an Airport Express (2012 version, 802.11n), has anyone tried the following configuration? Is the WAN port active in client mode? Do you have any suggestions on this or similar configurations?
    I am trying to use Airplay to stream music to two Klipsch G-17 speakers. As I have discovered and also documented by Apple on their web page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4587 in the section
    "Connecting to an existing Wi-Fi network as part of a legacy WDS or Extended Network", this is true "Due to the overhead required for this configuration, you may expect AirPlay drop-outs such as intermittent loss of audio."
    Configuration now:
    All Airport Expresses are the 2012 802.11n version with a LAN and a WAN port.
    There is one Airport Express in a home basement. It is connected to an Internet connection. This Internet connection goes into this home basement.
    There is a second Airport Express on the second floor of this home.
    Now, both Airport Expresses connect fine with the "extend network" option. There is wifi coverage throughout this home. All works fine until Airplay is used to stream music to these two Klipsch G-17 speakers. There are intermittent and persistent pauses. I am experiencing the what Apple documented in this kb article. I am not able to connect the two Airport Expresses with an ethernet cable. I cannot run a cable from the basement to the second floor.
    Has anyone tried this following configuration? Or is there a different configuration that would work, and if so, could you provide the configuration details?
    1. Connect the first Airport Express via client mode to the second, second floor Airport Express.
    2. Set the network default gateway to the first, basement Airport Express.
    The attempt is to eliminate the extended network, with its Airplay dropouts. And allow access to the Internet via the wifi network.
    - end -

    If the Express joins a wireless network wirelessly, in other words its WAN port isn't connected to anything, the correct way to connect a wired client to it is by using its LAN port.
    I don't know what would happen if you were to connect a wired client to its WAN port instead — it's just not supposed to be used for that purpose. It won't permanently break anything if you were to try it though. If you were, the worst that would occur is that your network would become unresponsive as packets continuously traverse its WAN port in a circular fashion, which might require that you power down your router to reset your whole network.
    If you are already using your Express's LAN port and you need another, the way to provide more ports is to purchase an inexpensive ($10 or so) switch. Connect it to the LAN port and as many other pieces of equipment as the switch's available number of ports.
    You're correct about the first generation with the single Ethernet port. It could be used in either capacity depending on its configuration.

  • AirPort Express cannot connect in client mode when encryption used

    I'm trying to set up my brand new AirPort Express in client mode to stream my music wirelessly to my receiver, which is on another floor of my house. I can't get it to associate with my Linksys WRV200 wireless router when using any kind of encryption. It works fine with encryption disabled, but I really don't want to leave that kind of security hole in my network.
    -Equipment-
    AirPort Extreme - v6.3 firmware
    AirPort Admin - v4.2
    WRV200 - v1.0.12 firmware (latest version)
    Dell desktop with Windows XP SP2 (Running iTunes 6.0.5.20)
    Dell laptop with Windows XP SP2 (running AirPort Admin)
    IBM laptop with Fedora Core 5 (for connection testing)
    -Procedure-
    Various encryption methods were set on the WRV200's primary SSID and matching settings were set on the AirPort. All changes to the AirPort Extreme were done wirelessly with AirPort Admin 4.2 on Windows XP SP2+latest updates. Here are the changes from default that I made on the AirPort:
    AirPort Tab
    -Name and password were changed
    -Wireless mode was set to "Join an existing wireless network (wireless client)"
    -Network name was changed but stayed consistent throughout the tests
    -Security setting was changed for each test
    Internet Tab
    -DHCP or manual IP were specified depending on the test.
    Music Tab
    -"Enable Air Tunes" was checked
    -A name was given to the share
    -Results-
    No Encryption - iTunes sees the AirPort Extreme and can stream music to it. This works in both DHCP and manual IP mode. Interestingly enough, when set to DHCP, it grabs the same address as the manual one I input, which isn't the next one in sequence for the DHCP server (192.168.1.250 instead of 192.168.1.103)
    128 bit WEP - Flashing orange light on the AirPort, no DHCP lease, no connection. Still doesn't work when a manual IP address is provided.
    WPA2 Personal - Solid green light for 10 seconds, then two amber flashes and back to solid green. I can see association requests in my router's log every 10 seconds or so while this is going on. The strange light pattern only happens when a manual IP is selected. I still see the association requests when DHCP is selected, but the light on the AirPort just flashes amber all the time.
    I know that the router's working correctly as my Linux and Windows laptops can DHCP and connect to the Internet with WEP or WPA2, but for some reason I can't connect the AirPort Express to the wireless router when I use encryption. I'd switch out the Linksys box, but I don't know of any other consumer-level wireless routers that allow multiple simultaneous wireless SSIDs.
    Does anyone have a suggestion of what to try next?
    AirPort Express   Other OS  

    One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
    In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
    The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
    One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
    Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.

  • I can't get my Airport express to work in client mode with my speedtouch base station?

    Im trying to add my Airport Express to my exisiting wireless network - which runs from a speedtouch base station. I only want to use the AP to use air tunes but i cant seem to get it running in client mode. The interface on the Airport Utility seems different to that described in the online help here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1731
    Everytimes i try to add it to an exisint network the AP dissapears on its restart. Any ideas if what im trying to do is possible. I've tried creating the network initially with the ethenet cable connected - which works, but then when its detatched although the AP status light stays green it disapears from from the network and i cant stream.
    thanks for any help and advice.

    In order for the AirPort Express to join another wireless network as a "client", three conditions must be met in the setup of the Express. It must be provided with......
    1) The name of the wireless network that is to be joined
    2) The exact type of wireless security settings that the wireless router is using
    3) The wireless network password
    Most users have no trouble with 1) and 3), but few know the exact type of wireless security settings that their wireless network is using. So, they accept a default setting on the Express, which does not match up with their network.
    Bottom line....unless you know the exact type of wireless security settings that your wireless router is using...the Express will never join the network. The setup ends with an error message and you have to start all over again with another try....which will fail as well, etc.
    If you know the exact type of security settings that the Speedtouch router is using.....we can provide you with a step by step setup guide.
    If you do not know this, or are unsure....you will need to get into the setup menus for the Speedtouch router to locate the wireless settings. Or, if the wireless router was provided by your ISP, they may be able you with this information.
    Post back with that info and we will proceed.

  • Airport Express - Airtunes Audio Dropouts in client mode

    The last week I spend trying many tips from this and other forums to get my Itunes running without dropouts, without any results. Heres a list what I did:
    Firmware downgrade to 6.1.1.
    Disabled IPv6
    Increased Buffer Size in Itunes to BIG
    Let OnyX runover
    Disabled Dashboard
    I works fine in Network Mode, but I cannot connect to Internet, and I would like to listen and surf...
    My config: Netgear Wireless router, Airport Express and MacBook 2Ghz Intel Core Duo.
    Sometimes it seems that playing directly from CD causes less dropouts - allthough the amount of data is much higher.
    I also noticed that my windows XP laptop produces much less dropouts than MacBook, it reconizes even the remote speakers in Itunes, allthough there is no Airtunes software installed. I tried to install Airtunes there, but it didnt recognize AE, allthough it found the new network, well..
    The system itself is rather new and with 1,5 GB of Ram it should be running like a rocket...
    I think the problem is either that there is not enough bandwith, maybe Airport reserves an amount for netsurfing, or there is a hardware problem with the build in Aiport, that cannot stream continously audio in client mode.
    No neighbor networks here, no microwave however there is a satelite dish cable, but this must disturb Aiport even when running in Single Mode, do I think wrong ?
    Some users report that the dropouts occured when updating Itunes...what should I do ?
    Send back to apple or wait for an update ?
    Will apple take care for the few MacBook Core Duo Users or invest more in the newer series ( Core 2 Duo ) ?
    Any help much appreciated. Greetings, Walter
    Mac Book Intel Core Duo 2Ghz 1,5 GB   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    After further testing it figures out that the problem seems to be at the Hardware of the Airport Express.
    When running in client mode, the green light is flashing always, so data seems to be sent correctly from MacBook - also from a PC Laptop. So MacBook´s Airport is OK. The dropouts appear, allthough the light is continously flashing.
    When running the seperate Network MAC and PC stream perfectly.
    Now I´m sitting here, listen to music from PC and surfing with my MacBook...
    I also tried to connect the second Network via WDS and configure the Internet Connection to my existing Network via WDS and use the AE as a remote Base Station - doesnt work, because it doesnt like the dynamic IP Adress of my Netgear Router, I think AE needs a fixed one, I wonder why AE could not handle a dynamic IP...
    The other question is, if configuring Internet with WDS would solve the problem ? - I think that is the same problem just from another side, Airtunes and Internet on one AE, and the AE could not handle that...what do you think ?
    If the Internetconnection breaks for 1 second it doesnt matter, but you hear that when airtuning music...
    Thanks for any statements.

  • Airport Express disconnects every 5mins (Client Mode)

    Hi all,
    I recently bought an Airport Express (n) so I could stream music to my Hi-Fi and bridge my Xbox 360.
    I have configured the AX to connect to my existing wireless network which is served up by a Billion 7800n router (G+N mode).
    However, every 5 minutes it disconnects from the network, here are sample of the logs..

    I'm using WPA2 AES encryption, wireless is on a non-competing channel and the airport is only 2-3 meters away from the router in the same room.
    Things I've tried are upgrading Router firmware to latest (1.6), switching Wi-Fi channels, enabling B mode on the router (BGN) but nothing seems to work.
    I don't think it's interference as it disconnects almost every 5 minutes which suggests some config/hardware issue.
    Anyone have any ideas? I've hit a brick wall.
    Thanks...

    Update:
    This appears to be by design? - connection doesn't drop when using AirTunes/Airfoil which is what I bought it for.
    However I thought the Ethernet port wouldn't work when used in Client mode (according to the FAQ). I was able to connect my Xbox 360 to the AX when in Client mode using a network cable and it is able to connect to Xbox Live. When doing this it drops off on the 5 minute intervals when the AX disconnects and reconnects.
    I guess if I used AirTunes at the same time as the X360 it would work.
    Would be nice if it worked as a stable bridge in client mode as I could bin off my other wireless bridges. Never mind - I ain't forking out for another AX so I can use "Apple's" WDS.

  • Airtunes Skips, Client Mode Stinks

    I live in a building with free wireless internet (a white Netgear WG602 54Mbps) and I have my Airport Express in Client Mode and connecting to the Netgear network. Airtunes is unusable! It skips constantly and I don't know what to do.
    I want to use the internet through the Netgear router and stream to Airtunes directly! Is there any way to do that? What does the Express have to go through the Netgear router and back? That seems silly.
    Any tips?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    This is what I did in your situation:
    1. Disconnect AE from the power plug.
    2. Restart my wireless modem (dsl).
    3. Reset AE (factory default - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044).
    4. Use 'Airport Setup Assistant' to join AE with my wireless network (client mode). I choose a 40-bit password for the AE.
    5. Use 'Airport Admin Utility' to change the wireless option to "Use Interference Robustness". I also used this option with my airport. I have heard that using interference robustness may or may not help with the audio dropouts. You may choose whatever suits you best.
    6. I downloaded the Airport Express firmware version 6.3 even though the AE already had that version.
    7. Restart AE from 'Airport Admin Utility' whenever airtunes skips (once in a week or two).
    (I hope you have the latest software update.)
    Good Luck.

  • Airport Extreme (4th generation) and "Wireless Client Mode"

    Hello All,
    I am using  an Airport Extreme (4th generation) and I wonder why in "Wireless Client Mode" I am unable to connect my network using the Ethernet connection.
    Basically, what I wish to do is a bridge between a Base Station Wireless N <--> Base Station Wireless N (Airport Extreme) distributing the connection via its integrated Ethernet ports.
    Thanks,
    Sebastian

    I wonder why in "Wireless Client Mode" I am unable to connect my network using the Ethernet connection.
    The Ethernet ports are not enabled if you configure the AirPort Extreme to "Join a wireless network". Oddly, the USB port is enabled.
    If you have another Apple "n" wireless router as your main base station, you could configure the AirPort Extreme to "Extend a wireless network". This would provide more wireless coverage and enable the Ethernet ports on the device.
    Ironically, the less expensive AirPort Express 802.11n will do what you want.
    When the Express is is manually configured to "Join a wireless network", there is a special feature  to "Enable Ethernet clients", which will activate the Ethernet port.

  • HT1320 what is disc mode error message mean?

    What is disc mode error message mean?

    A few years down the road, but I have a thought.  I nornally use an external burner since it is faster and frankly more reliable.  Today, I was doing a quick job so I started burning cds with IDENTICAL files for 7 clients.  First 5 urned without error.  Started #6 and 0x80020022 error code appeared.  The cds were formatted for music, as most are these days.  I switched to a cheaper unformatted cd and low and behold...no error.  Two more clean burns.  Might it be that the software reads the files ... and limits the copies to the number of legit copies allowed by iTunes.  I know that sound bizarre, but when all other reasonable explanations fail, I suggest the unreasonable one as an option. 
    Anyway, the text, pdf, and jpg files are all burned, but the opening file names were the same; only one picture changed with each cd and that was not the first file on the list.  Code writers sometimes go for the elegant (read shortest) code solution.  So forget speed.  How many copies are you making and are the file names (especially the first ones) identical. 

  • Existing wireless network in client mode

    Hi,
    I' m trying to join my existing wireless network in client mode. I' ve followed the directions of "AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode"(http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302153) with success, but when i try to play a song, itunes can' t join the network. I' ve try to configure it again but airport admin utility can' t scan it.
    Thanks

    Hey I am having the same problem.
    I have a home network with a netgear router I am following the instructions to join the existing network. After I join I can play music over airtunes but I do not have Internet access. I restart the Airport Express and then my computer and now I get Internet access but I can see there is a base station connected but it timesout when I try to connect to it.
    What did you do to fix it?

  • Time Capsule / Airport Extreme client mode and alternatives

    I have three PCs on a boat.
    I want to create a wired Ethernet with shared internet access via wifi from a remote, land-based access point. I have no control over the broadband router at the other end (so putting an apple device at the other end is not an option).
    I read here:
    http://bc.whirlpool.net.au/bc/hardware/?action=hview&modelid=264
    ... that the Time Capsule supports "client mode", so I bought a TC today with fingers crossed.
    As soon as I configure the TC for client mode, it disappears off the wired Ethernet. In the instructions for the TC, there is a diagram showing the TC operating in what looks like client mode, but without any Ethernet devices attached. My interpretation is that if it does support client mode, it only does so as a wireless network drive and USB hub (ie no wired Ethernet). Correct?
    So, I think my options are:
    1. Plug a wireless gaming adaptor into the WAN port on the TC and use that to connect the TC to the remote broadband connection.
    or
    2. Take the TC back to the shop and get a gigabit router with aftermarket dd-wrt firmware to enable it to run in client mode, and then buy a gigabit NAS.
    Am I talking sense?
    Hopefully,

    Thanks for your reply...
    I am thinking of keeping the Airport Extreme as I have my PS3 and my Xbox 360 Elite connected to it by Ethernet and my Wii connected by Wi-Fi.
    So the Wireless clients are the iMac, iPhones / iPod Touch, Nintendo Wii and my Canon Wi-Fi printer... all of which necessitate the 802.11n (b&g compatible) setting on the AEBS
    I think that means that the Time capsule, Apple TV, Macbook and Airport Express will run on a throttled back 802.11n when ever there is no activity from the other devices... I am not entirely sure how the b&g compatible setting works.
    One of my favourite things about my setup is being able to use the iPhone Remote App to control my Macbook, Apple TV and Airport Express. Sadly, I have to have iTunes running on my computer as Apple Tv won't transmit its content to Airport Express which would be the ideal.
    Time Capsule has now been setup but I want to connect the HDD by USB and then use it as a Network drive, hopefully at 802.11n speeds. I will look into partitioning the Time Capsule but it has almost 300GB of Movies and I don't want to have to start again with all of that...

  • Public folder migration difference what Outlook client see

    I have successfully migrated  public fodders from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013. Problem that I`m seeing is  what Outlook client see.
    I have two types of clients :
    Windows XP + Outlook 2007
    Windows 7 + Outlook 2013
    Outlook 2013 client see  Public fodders as expected.
    Outlook 2007 client, sees  one level lower including ipm_subtree.
    Is these normal ?

    Hi,
    Please try to use OWA to check whether you can expand the subtree of Public Folder.
    If OWA works, how about using Outlook 2007 with Online Mode?
    Thanks

  • WRT54GC AP client mode

    Hey.
    I just bought WRT54GC and I'm trying to figure out how to switch it to AP client mode.
    I'm unable to find anything like wireless survey in the admininstration app. Where can I see what wifi networks does the router see?
    Thanks.

    hey there! a wrt54gc is a just a router with a built in access point, so it means that it's just a mere access point. It can't function as an AP client mode. if you wanted to have a device which can function as an AP client mode try the WAP54G v3, it can be set as an access point, repeater/expander, wireless bridge, AP client.
