Distribution System) function.
Access Point
WDS (Wireless Repeater)
Bridge/Router
WISP
AP Client
The device provides 3 different operation modes and the wireless radio of device

types of operation mode.
Router
The wired Ethernet (WAN) port is used to connect with ADSL/Cable modem and
the wireless NIC is used for your private WLAN. The NAT is existed between the 2
NIC and all the wireless clients share the same public IP address through the WAN
port to ISP. The default IP configuration for WAN port is static IP. You can access
the web server of device through the default WAN IP address 172.1.1.1 and modify
the setting base on your ISP requirement.
