set up questions

Folks

 

I am looking to purcahse a XWNB5221 and XWN5021 to extend an extehernet and WiFi connection to a new office at home.  I am unsure about the setup of the WiFi part of the 5021.  I have read the install guide but still not sure about things.

Does the 5021 act like and AP on its own and then uses the LAN connection to access the internet?  If so is there any config stuff I have to do.

Once connected I imagine I then go through the process of using the Geneie App to secure the WiFi link.

 

All help appreciated.
