Quick Setup
Router:
The Ethernet port will behave as a WAN port for a wired
connection to an ADSL or Cable modem. The NAT routing will be
performed between the WAN and WLAN to make IP sharing possible.
WISP:
In this mode, the AP will behave as client. The router function will
also be added between the wireless WAN side and the Ethernet LAN
side. Therefore, the WISP subscriber can share the WISP connection
without the need for an extra router.
AP:
The most basic mode is Access Point. In this mode, the AP will act
as a central hotspot for different wireless LAN clients.
3.3
Router
In Router mode, a wired connection can be made to an ADSL or
Cable Modem via the WAN port to share the Internet to local wireless
and wired networks.
