Operation Mode Settings
Router Mode
Bridge Mode
Extender Mode
In this mode, the M15 directly connects to the Internet provided by
your ISP (Internet Service Provider). All client devices from a network
group are connected and managed under this router. This is the
default mode.
In this Mode, the M15 extends your existing network and improves
overall Wi-Fi coverage, meaning that you already have a router on
the premises. Under this mode, the DHCP Server, Parental Control,
QoS, and Firewall related settings rely on the existing router.
In this mode, this device acts as an extender to connect your wireless
devices, expanding Wi-Fi coverage. It provides connectivity between
various wireless devices. This can be useful if you already have an
existing wireless router. You can then manage the extender through
the main router under this mode.
