photos with explanation for each operation mode.
Gateway Mode:
In Gateway mode, all Ethernet are bridged together, and wireless clients will connect ISP
access point or router connecting directly to the Internet via WAN PORT. NAT is enabled
and PCs in Ethernet LAN port share the same IP to ISP through wireless LAN.
Repeater Mode:
In Repeater mode is used to extend the range of wireless coverage of existing Wi-Fi
network. This mode is suitable when you are in a Wi-Fi dead-zone or a place with weak
wireless signal, and you want to have a larger effective range of the wireless signal
throughout your home or office.
WISP Mode:
In WISP mode, the device connects to ISP station or hot spot wirelessly to share network
with local wired and wireless devices.
AP Mode:
In AP mode, the device works as an access point to transform your existing wired
network into a wireless network.
Super WDS Mode:
A Wireless Distribution System (WDS) is a system that enables the wireless
interconnection of access points in an IEEE 802.11ac/a network. It allows a wireless
network to be expanded using multiple access points without the need for a wired
backbone to link them, as is traditionally required. In Super WDS mode, device can act as
Bridge as well as AP both simultaneously and can connect other bridges and APs.
