Hello,
Thanks for reaching out to us!
Please go to the Network > Wireless > SSIDs section from the WebUI, and then please click “Scan”
Additionally, you will be presented with a list of all nearby SSIDs.
After choosing your preferred network, you must write down the SSID password.
And your device will be using Wi-Fi as a ‘WAN’. You can also distribute the connectivity over the LAN ports by default.
Let me know if any further help is needed.

Hello Caner,
i’ve do this, but if i try to ping the device connected at the WAN port of the RUT140, don’t have any response.
The device connected to the WAN port have a static IP address. This are the addresses:
my PC: 192.168.1.235
Router LAN-Wifi: 192.168.1.1
RUT140 : 192.168.1.100
device to connect: 192.168.1.103
many thanks
Hello,
You should connect the devices to the LAN port of the RUT140 to provide them a connectivity.
However, in our devices, you can configure each LAN port as a WAN port, and vice versa.
You can find the step-by-step instructions from here.
Please don’t forget to set your WebUI to the ‘Basic Mode’
After this is configured, you will be able to give devices connectivity!

Hello,
now i can see the WAN port with the same address of the LAN port, but only if i connect the LAN port to my laptop. But i need to ping the LAN or WAN port using the WIFI. It is possible configure the WIFI port to a static IP address ?
With a TP Link-WR802 N i made it in only 5 minutes !!!
I don’t know why it’s not possible put the RUT140 in client mode so easier.
thanks for reply
