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 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. |
| 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 is automatic and transparent.
•Wireless clients can connect to the Access Point 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.
