How to configure the Intelbras router as an access point

Intelbras routers can operate in access point mode (from a network configuration). The feature may be interesting for people who need to bring wireless Internet to areas where the primary signal is limited. The function only requires a connection to the central cable device and tends to deliver a more stable and secure network than that offered by Wi-Fi extenders and repeaters, for example.

In the following tutorial, you will learn how to configure the Intelbras router to function similarly to an access point. It is worth noting that step-by-step can also help to "revive" the old router of the brand that had the damaged WAN port.

When making the change, click "Save" and wait for the router to restart;
