a.The wireless access point interface is only available with the MP W.

b.Note: If you enable a wireless access point or Ethernet interface after a USB connection has already been established, the USB connection is disabled.

You can switch between interfaces after the modem is installed and configured, but before doing so, you need to understand the interface hierarchy.

If you switch from a serial interface to any other interface, the serial interface is disabled. If you switch from USB to either a Ethernet or wireless access point, the USB connection is lost. If you switch from Ethernet to wireless access point (MP modem only), the Ethernet connection is disabled.

Watcher is available for all network interfaces except wireless access point.
