Modes

Use AP/Router mode in any of the following situations:

•The Ethernet port is connected to a broadband modem rather than an Ethernet port.

•There is permission for ONLY ONE (1) user to connect to the LAN or WAN, but multiple user connections are required. (In AP/Router mode, the IP address on the Ethernet port is shared by all wireless clients.)

Notes: 1. AP/Router mode uses a technology called “NAPT” (Network Address Port Translation), and NAPT may cause problems with some complex multi-user communication applications. (There is no problem with common services such as HTTP, FTP, E-mail, etc.). Should problems occur, try getting permission for all users to connect to the LAN/WAN and use AP mode instead.

2.It is possible to connect to the APC 3-in-1 Wireless Mobile Router and change its configuration while it is AP/Router mode.

The IP address used is the wireless LAN IP address, which can be set on the AP/Router Setup screen. The default value is 192.168.0.1 (the same as the Config mode IP address); however, this address can be modified as needed.

Note: Users must change the wireless LAN IP address if the LAN/WAN is using the address range 192.168.0.1 ~ 192.168.0.254.

Config Mode

Password	The current password is Admin.

Client Mode

Figure 4. Client Mode Configuration

Client mode is used with PC game consoles that have an existing Ethernet connection, In Client mode, the APC 3-in-1 Wireless Mobile Router is connected to the Ethernet port of the computer (or other device), and will connect to a wireless LAN. This has the effect of converting the Ethernet port to a wireless interface.

Note: In Client mode, the APC 3-in-1 Wireless Mobile Router is transparent; it has no IP address.
