Hardware Overview
Switching Between WAN Mode/3G Router Mode
The DIR-412 features a hardware switch that enables users to switch between WAN mode and 3G router mode.
When the DIR-412 is operating in WAN mode, WAN connectivity is achieved via the DIR-412’s Ethernet port. In this mode LAN clients need to access the DIR-412 via the DIR-412’s wireless connection. When the DIR-412 is operating in WAN mode network connectivity is more resilient as Internet connectivity can be failed over to a backup 3G connection, if the main WAN connection fails.
When the DIR-412 is in 3G router mode, LAN clients can access the DIR-412 via the DIR-412’s Ethernet connection, as well as via the wireless connection.
