Relay

 

Layer 3 Relay Mode. Relay mode can help to route between

 

 

mesh backhaul and local WiFi/LAN network. Also, a Relay mode

 

 

Mesh AP can help to route the packets from other Relay node to

 

 

the destination IP subnet or Gateway.

 

 

WAN port is disabled at this mode. At the same time no WAN

 

 

setting is required.

Client-Relay

Layer 3 Client-Relay Mode.

At this mode, the Mesh node can only route between local WiFi/LAN network to mesh backhaul. It will not help to route packets from other Relay node. This mode can be used to reduce the unnecessary routing especially if this Mesh node is in the edge of the whole mesh topology.

Layer 2 Gateway

Layer 2 Relay

Layer 2 Gateway Mode.

At this mode, the Mesh AP can be viewed as a bridge. This bridge can bridge between WAN, LAN, Mesh backhaul, and WiFi. As a Gateway, the WAN interface will turns into the public bridge port that connects to the existing Ethernet network.

Be noted, only ONE Gateway is allowed in the same Mesh network.

Layer 2 Relay Mode.

At this mode, the Mesh node act as a mesh relay that can bridge between WAN, LAN, Mesh backhaul and WiFi.
