It's so easy.

1)If you want to get connect to wireless network, It's mean the Wlan1 on RB should works in station mode. Then you can scan the wireless SSIDs and connect to the certain one. If there is some security method for connection, you need to ask about it from the provider.

2) To make a RB as a Gateway for your client, you need to add different Network Address to the Ether1(LAN).

3) You can have some methods for authenticate and accounting your clients if you want>> Hotspot, PPPoE, DHCP (All in Wiki).

Make your decision about the 3rd step. others are depend on it.

every time you are in scan mode and Your Wireless Card Is in Scan Running Mode , Wireless Card goes to this mode .

after scanned for wireless network , select your destination Network ( SSID ) And Then Connect to that .

So, did you fill the SSID field manually ? If yes it always try to search for that and if your purpose is not to connect to that SSID, just remove it.
Try to reset configuration for the wlan1 and start again
