D. Client Client mode takes the signal from an existing network and routes it to a single device on the LAN. This application is good if you have a computer or device that does not have wireless capabilities or if the devices internal wireless card is not strong enough for your purposes. Setup is very similar to Repeater and WDS mode with the difference being that the AR686WV2 will NOT repeat the wireless signal from the existing network. This is similar to Bridge mode, with the difference being that Client mode will only output signal to a single device on the LAN. Please see section 3.3.1.1 B for instructions on how to setup Client mode. 3.3.2 MAC Filtering MAC Filtering allows you to control who can connect to your wireless network. Every wireless device has its own unique MAC address. With MAC filtering you can choose who can or who cannot join your network. 33
