NBG-419N Modes
5.1
Overview
This chapter introduces the different modes available on your NBG-419N. First, the term “mode”
refers to two things in this User’s Guide.
Web Configurator mode
. This refers to the Web Configurator interface you want to use for
editing NBG-419N features.
Device mode
. This is the operating mode of your NBG-419N, or simply how the NBG-419N is
being used in the network.
5.1.1
Web Configurator Modes
This refers to the configuration interface of the Web Configurator, which has two modes:
Easy
.
The Web Configurator shows this
mode by default. Refer to
Chapter 6 on page 45
for more
information on the screens in this mode. This interface may be sufficient for users who just want
to use the device.
Expert
. Advanced users can change to this mode to customize all the functions of the NBG-
419N. Click
Expert Mode
after logging into the Web Configurator. The User’s Guide
Chapter 3 on
page 33
through
Chapter 30 on page 182
discusses the screens in this mode.
5.1.2
Device Modes
This refers to the operating mode of the NBG-419N, which can act as a:
Router
. This is the default device mode of the NBG-419N. Use this mode to connect the local
network to another network, like the Internet. Go to
Section 7.3 on page 57
to view the
Status
screen in this mode.
Access Point
. Use this mode if you want to extend your network by allowing network devices to
connect to the NBG-419N wirelessly. Go to
Section 8.4 on page 65
view the
Status
screen in this
mode.
WISP
mode. Use this mode if there is an existing wireless router or access point in the network
to which you want to connect your local network. Go to
Section 9.4 on page 72
to view the
Status
screen in this mode.

The following figure is a simple illustration of the device configuration modes of the NBG-419N.
Figure 25
Device Mode Example
For more information on these modes and to change the mode of your NBG-419N, refer to
Chapter
30 on page 182
.
The menu for changing device modes is available in
Expert
mode only.
Note: Choose your Device Mode carefully to avoid having to change it later.
When changing to another mode, the IP address of the NBG-419N changes. The running
applications and services of the network devices connected to the NBG-419N can be interrupted.
In WISP mode, you should know the SSID and wireless security details of the access point to which
you want to connect.
