Section 2 - Choosing an Operation Mode
Access Point
Create a Wireless Network using Ethernet
The DIR-890L operates as an
Access Point
when an Ethernet cable is connected from the WAN Ethernet Port to an uplink network and the device
is configured to
AP Mode
using the web configuration utility.
Use this mode for:
• Extending your current network.
• Providing better signal for parts of your home or office that may have poor reception.
• Bringing Wi-Fi to an area it doesn't currently reach.
• Adding Wi-Fi to a wired network.
• Maximizing bandwidth.
• Creating a Wi-Fi pocket away from your existing network.
Note:
Extending a network to a desired location via Ethernet may require additional cable. The maximum length of Category 5/5E cables is limited
to 100 meters (330 feet). Use a Gigabit-capable Ethernet connection where possible to ensure the best networking experience.
