Device

Select the desired device mode for the router:

Mode

∙ 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 (ADW-4300 only) 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 (ADW-4300 only).

 

This mode is also called Bridge Mode.

 

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.

Operation

Operation is automatic and transparent.

∙Wireless clients can connect to the Access Point (ADW-4300 only) if they have the correct SSID and security, but they must obtain an IP address from the DHCP Server on your LAN.

∙The modem will act like any other ADSL modem. No routing will be performed, and no client login will be done. If a client login is required, it must be performed by your Router/Gateway or by software on your PC.
