This is a quick guide to setting up your AP230 as a wireless client bridge, allowing any devices plugged in via eth0 to communicate with the network of the connected SSID. Note that this config uses NAT, and I cannot figure out how to set a static IP for the "WAN" interface, so DHCP it is.
- Connect a console cable to to the "console" port (or do step two, SSH into the address which appears on your network)
- After providing power to the AP (either with PoE or 12v/1a connector), hold the reset button for 30s (or login and execute reset config bootstrap, reset config)
