Chapter 2: About the Operation
Modes
This device provides three operational applications with
Portable Router, Gateway, and
Client (Infrastructure)
modes, which are mutually exclusive.
This device is shipped with configuration that is functional right out of the box. If you want to
change the settings in order to perform more advanced configuration or even change the mode
of operation, you can manually switch to the mode you desire by the manufacturer as described
in the following sections.
AP 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.
GW Mode
When GW mode is selected, the AP 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.
