Network Mode of Network Role status box shows current network mode.
Network Mode:
device supports 3 kinds of Network Modes, namely Bridge Mode
、
SOHO Router Mode
and WISP Mode.
We will have a brief introduction to those:
1.
Bridge Mode:
Bridge Mode is typical 2-layer network mode. CPE ETH port and
wireless interface
are
working at 2-layer network mode, no independent IP address. For the whole CPE only Bridge port has
IP address.
2.
SOHO Router Mode:
This mode is typical network mode of home wireless router.
The ETH port is
worked as WAN interface, connecting outer net by ETH port, like Internet or enterprise network. This
device connects with public network supporting three ways: static IP address, DHCP dynamic IP
address and PPPoE.
※
Attention: Only when CPE works as AP Mode and AP WDS Mode, network mode can be set
as SOHO Router Mode.
3.
WISP Mode:
This mode is opposite to SOHO Router. It uses wireless interface as WAN to connect
public network and ETH port as 2-layer access port. For this mode we can think CPE as a large
wireless network card.
※
Attention: Only when CPE works as Station Mode or Station WDS Mode
，
network mode can
be set as WISP Mode.
