WLAN routing (isolated mode)

The standard setting allows data traffic to be "bridged" between LAN and WLAN, i.e. layer-2 transparent transmission. Data traffic between the cabled network and the wireless LAN is not directed via the IP router. Consequently, the firewall and Quality of Service functions integrated into the firewall are not available for traffic between LAN and WLAN. In order to be able to use these functions, the WLAN interfaces are set to "isolated mode" and the data traffic is intentionally routed via the IP router.

Note: To ensure that the IP router can correctly transmit the data between the LAN and WLAN, the two areas must have different IP address ranges. Further information is available in the Advanced Routing and Forwarding (ARF) section.
