Bridge Mode:
Bridge Mode is used when there is one PC connected to the LAN-side
Ethernet port. IEEE 802.1D method of transport bridging is used to bridge between the
WAN (ADSL) side and the LAN (Ethernet) side, i.e., to store and forward.
Router Mode:
Router Mode is used when there is more than one PC connected to the
LAN-side Ethernet port. This enables the ADSL WAN access to be shared with multiple
nodes on the LAN. Network Address Translation (NAT) is supported so that one
WAN-side IP address can be shared among multiple LAN-side devices. DHCP is used to
serve each LAN-side device and IP address.
