Change the operation mode to AP mode or
router mode
By default, the AP’s operation mode is router mode. However, if a device in your network
already provides routing functions and you do not need the AP’s routing functions, you
can change the operation mode to AP mode. For more information about the operation
mode that is associated with each network setup, see What WiFi setup do you want?
on page 24.
You can use the AP in either operation mode:
•
AP mode: The AP functions as a WiFi 6 access point and can support LAN clients
through its LAN ports. The AP receives its IP address settings from a routing device
in your network. The AP passes on the IP address settings from the routing device
to its clients so that Internet access is provided.
Note: In AP mode, the AP does not require routing features, so they are masked
out in the local browser UI. For example, routing features such as NAT filtering and
the DHCP server are disabled so that they do not interfere with the routing device
in your network. For more information about the features that are enabled in router
mode but not required in AP mode, see Routing features enabled in router mode
on page 39.
•
Router mode: The AP functions as both a lightweight router and WiFi 6 access point,
and can support LAN clients through its LAN ports. Because the AP is connected to
your modem, the AP receives its IP address settings from your Internet service
provider (ISP). The AP delivers IP address settings to its clients so that Internet access
is provided.
