Wifi router connect to AP with the router's wireless module as dhcp client

[David Beszeda]

Hello All,

I'am curious about is that possible to set a router's(819hw) wireless module as dhcp client which can be connected to an AP1 and get service (IP,GW,SM etc.) from that AP1?

Thank you very much.

Yes, you can configure the 5GHz radio as a workgroup bridge so it will associate to the desired SSID.

The config depends on the SSID of the Root AP, for a PSK would be something like this:

dot11 ssid <SSID-NAME>
authentication open
authentication key-management wpa version 2
wpa-psk ascii <PRE-SHARED-KEY>
!
interface do1
encryption mode ciphers aes-ccm
ssid <SSID-NAME>
station-role workgroup-bridge
no shutdown

interface bvi1
ip address dhcp
