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.
