between WAN and WLAN/LAN and all the wireless and wired 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.
Bridge
The two wired Ethernet ports and wireless NIC are bridged together. Once
the mode is selected, all the WAN related functions will be disabled.
WISP (Wireless ISP)
This mode can let you access the AP of your wireless ISP and share the
same public IP address from your ISP to the PCs connecting with both the
wired Ethernet ports of the device. To use this mode, first you must set the
wireless radio to be client mode connecting to the AP of your ISP as the
WAN connection and then you can configure the WAN IP configuration to
meet your ISP requirement.
The wireless radio of the device acts as the following roles.
AP (Access Point)
The wireless radio of device serves as communications “hub” for wireless
clients and provides a connection to a wired LAN.
AP Client
This mode provides the capability to connect with the other AP using
infrastructure/Ad-hoc networking types. With bridge operation mode, you
can directly connect one of the wired Ethernet port to your PC and the
device becomes a wireless adapter. And with WISP operation mode, you
can connect one of the wired Ethernet port to a hub/switch and all the PCs
connecting with hub/switch can share the same public IP address from your
ISP.
WDS (Wireless Distribution System)
This mode combines up to 8 AP to a single wireless network; the device
forwards the packets to another AP with WDS function. When this mode is
selected, all the wireless clients can’t survey and connect to the device. The
device only allows the WDS connection.
