Only the ADSL Modem component is operational.

•Router - Both the ADSL Modem and the Router features are operational. In this mode, this device can provide shared Inter- net Access to all your LAN users. Also, by default, it acts a DHCP Server, providing an IP address and related information to all Wireless and LAN users.

•Modem - Only the ADSL Modem component is operational. All Router features are disabled. This device is "transparent" - it does not perform any operations or make any changes to the network traffic passing through it. You need to have a DHCP Server on your LAN to provide IP addresses to the Wireless cli- ents using this Access Point.

After changing the mode, this device will restart, which will take a few seconds. The menu will also change, depending on the mode you are in.

Select the desired option from the drop-down list.

Notes:

•Generally, you should NOT use modem mode. Only select this mode if you are sure this is what you want.

•After changing the mode, this device will restart, which will take a few seconds. The menu will also be changed, depending on the mode you are in.

•The Wireless Access Point can function in either Router or Modem mode. But generally it is not a good idea to combine a Modem with an Access Point, be- cause all data received from the wireless stations will be sent over the modem connection. (Since the modem is transparent, it does not examine the traffic to de- termine whether the traffic is for the LAN or the WAN.)

•For details on using Modem Mode, see Chapter 8.
