The FAQ "Laptop wireless adapters and internet access" needs to be updated to address the reality of the ubiquity routers.

I have a Bullet router that I want to connect to my laptop with an Ethernet cable.  At the same time I want the laptop to be able to access the internet using WiFi to my modem that it connected to the internet.  As suggested in the FAQ this causes confusion regarding the mapping of the internet addresses.  The proposed solutions in the FAQ assume that your router has both a WAN and a LAN port.  The problem is that the Ubiquiti Bullet has only one port.

I am using the latest version of the mesh software on a laptop with Windows 8.1.

Thanks,

I know the Austin team started a cleanup effort a month and a half ago so I am sure they will add this to the list.

You can actually get a WAN port on Ubiquiti devices using a smart switch (please refer to the release notes for more information on this) so the information contained actually still applies and still works (I use it in my home lab)

I think I have a feature in mind that may change this in the future (playing with it in my test lab) so will have to see if that pans out this may become easier in the future (You are the 3rd person to bring this up today)
