* Next window that opens will be '''Device Configuration'''. Values there, mostly, should be left unchanged to avoid connection problems, because they are dictated by ''Access'' Point. Other than that, only difference from Access Point settings are in ''Interface Configuration'' → ''General Setup section'', where '''Mode''' is set to '''Client''', and '''Network''' attached to this wireless interface is '''WAN''' instead of LAN:
