Chapter 2: About the Operation
Modes
This device provides operational applications with
AP
and
Gateway
modes, which are
mutually exclusive. If you want to change the settings in order to perform more advanced
configuration or even change the mode of operation, you can use the web-based utility
provided by the manufacturer as described in the following sections.
Access Point Mode
When acting as an access point, this device connects all the stations (PC/notebook with
wireless network adapter) to a wired network. All stations can have the Internet access if only
the Access Point has the Internet connection.
Gateway Mode
When GW mode is selected, the Router will enter the gateway mode. And the wireless
connection will be set up from a point-to-point local LAN into a point-to-multipoint WAN.
