Appendix B – Wireless with Router Mode
This section provides more details on wireless with router function.
The role of the LAN and WLAN interface will change accordingly to the
Wireless Mode
while the device
is operating in
Router
mode:
•
Wireless interface and all the wireless clients connected are considered as the internal
LAN and the Ethernet interface is dedicated for the connection to the external network while the device is
operating in AP/AP WDS wireless mode;
•
Wireless interface and all the wireless clients connected is considered as the external network and the all
the network devices on LAN side as well as the Ethernet interface itself is considered as the internal network
while the device is operating in Station/Station
WDS mode.
Wireless/wired clients are routed from the internal network to the external one by default.
Network Address Translation (NAT) functionality works the same way.
11.1 AP-Router mode Network Settings
IP Address
: This IP addresses represents the LAN or WLAN interface which is connected to the internal
network according to the wireless operation mode described above. IP will be used for routing in internal
network (it will be the Gateway IP for all the devices connected on the internal network). IP address also
will be used for the management purpose of the device.
WLAN IP Address
: This IP addresses represents the LAN or WLAN interface which is connected to the
external network according to the wireless operation mode described above. This is the IP address can
be used for the routing and the device management purposes. The external network interface can be set
for static IP or can be set to obtain an IP address from the DHCP server which should reside in the
external network. One of the IP assignment modes must be selected for the external network interface:
DHCP
– choose this option to obtain the IP address, Gateway and DNS address dynamically from the
external DHCP server.
PPPoE
– choose this option to obtain the IP address, Gateway and DNS address dynamically from the
external PPPoE server.
Static
– choose this option to assign the static IP settings for the external interface.
IP Address and Netmask settings should consist with the address space of the network segment where
the device resides. If the device IP settings and administrator PC
(which is connected to the device through wired or wireless) IP settings will use different address space,
the device will become unreachable.
Netmask:
This is used to define the device IP classification for the chosen IP address range.
255.255.255.0 is a typical netmask value for Class C networks, which support IP address range
192.0.0.x to 223.255.255.x. Class C network Netmask uses 24 bits to identify the network
(alternative notation "/24") and 8 bits to identity the host.
Gateway IP:
This is the IP address of the host router which resides on the external network and
provides the point of connection to the next hop towards the internet. This can be a DSL modem, Cable
modem, or a WISP gateway router. The device will direct all the packets to the gateway if the destination
host is not within the local network.
Gateway IP address should be from the same address space (on the same network segment) as the
device's external network interface (Wireless interface in the Station case and the LAN interface in the AP
case).
