Router Mode
By default, the DWM-311 operates in bridge mode. Any attached devices are assigned
an IP address directly by the ISP. However, for compatibility purposes, some devices
may require an IP address assigned from a local DHCP server. Enabling router mode
ensures that all IPs on the subnet will be assigned by the DWM-311’s internal DHCP
server, and all traffic relayed to the ISP via NAT (Network Address Translation).
Note: NAT is considered a type of firewall*, and may interfere with incoming direct
connections over the Internet.
Turn on router
mode
Check this box to enable the DWM-311’s internal DHCP server and
NAT. This setting is disabled by default. Enable this setting only if
your clients do not support bridge mode.

*This device is not designed to replace a conventional router, and is not intended
for use as a network security device. Filtering and advanced firewall features are
not supported.
