Operation Mode configuration
The Operation Mode Configuration pages allow you to setup the mode suitable for
your network environment.
Figure 5-3.
System Information (Gateway Mode)
Bridge Mode
– An access point mode that extends a wired LAN to wireless clients.
Gateway Mode
– A gateway mode that connects a wired LAN and wireless clients
to an Internet access device, such as a cable or DSL modem. This is the factory
set default mode.
Internet Settings
The Internet Settings pages allow you to manage basic system configuration
settings.
Note:
In Bridge mode, the wireless AP/Router’s Internet Settings options are
significantly reduced.
WAN Setting
Specifies the Internet connection parameters. Click on “Internet Settings” followed
by “WAN”.
WAN Connection Type
By default, the access point WAN port is configured
with DHCP enabled. After you have network access to the access point, you can
use the web browser interface to modify the initial IP configuration, if needed. The
options are Static IP, DHCP, PPPoE (ADSL), L2TP, and PPTP. Each option
changes the parameters displayed below it. (Default: DHCP).

DHCP
Enables Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) for the WAN port. This
setting allows the wireless AP/Router to automatically obtain an IP address from a
DHCP server normally operated by the Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Figure 5-4.
WAN Setting - DHCP
Hostname (Optional)
– The hostname of the DHCP client.
MAC Clone Mode
– Some ISPs limit Internet connections to a specified MAC
address of one PC. This setting allows you to manually change the MAC address
of the wireless AP/Router's WAN interface to match the PC's MAC address
provided to your ISP for registration. You can enter the registered MAC address
manually by typing it in the boxes provided. Otherwise, connect only the PC with
the registered MAC address to the wireless AP/Router, then click the “Fill My MAC”
(Default: Disable)
Note:
If you are unsure of the PC MAC address originally registered by your ISP, call
your ISP and request to register a new MAC address for your account. Register
the default MAC address of the wireless AP/Router.

Static IP
Configures a static IP for the WAN port.
Figure 5-5.
WAN Setting - Static IP
IP Address
– The IP address of the wireless AP/Router. Valid IP addresses
consist of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods.
Subnet Mask
– The mask that identifies the host address bits used for routing to
specific subnets.
Default Gateway
– The IP address of the gateway router for the wireless AP/
Router, which is used if the requested destination address is not on the local
subnet.
Primary DNS Server
– The IP address of the Primary Domain Name Server on
the network. A DNS maps numerical IP addresses to domain names and can be
used to identify network hosts by familiar names instead of the IP addresses. If you
have one or more DNS servers located on the local network, type the IP addresses
in the text fields provided. Otherwise, leave the addresses as all zeros (0.0.0.0).
Secondary DNS Server
– The IP address of the Secondary Domain Name Server
on the network.
MAC Clone Mode
– Some ISPs limit Internet connections to a specified MAC
address of one PC. This setting allows you to manually change the MAC address
of the wireless AP/Router's WAN interface to match the PC's MAC address
provided to your ISP for registration. You can enter the registered MAC address
manually by typing it in the boxes provided. Otherwise, connect only the PC with
the registered MAC address to the wireless AP/Router, then click the “Fill My MAC”
(Default: Disable)
