1.4.7 WISP + Repeater Mode 

This mode is the combination of WISP Router mode and AP mode.    The radio is divided 
into 2-way.    One way is the client mode to connect with the remote AP, the other is the AP 
mode  to  serve  the  local  wireless  network.    There  is  a  NAT  router  function  to  share  the 
Internet  connection.    Since  the  radio  is  divided  by  half,  it  is  not  recommended  for  long 
distance application. 
 

 

 

1.4.8 AP Router Mode 

In AP Router Mode, the AP60 behaves like a wireless router.    The LAN1 port of the AP60 
will become WAN port.    The wireless network of AP60 becomes the LAN side.
