AP Client Router - In this mode, the device enables multi-users to share Internet from WISP. The LAN port devices share the same IP from WISP through Wireless port. While connecting to WISP, the Wireless port works as a WAN port at AP Client Router mode. The Ethernet port acts as a LAN port.

AP Router - In this mode, the device enables multi-users to share Internet via ADSL/Cable Modem. The wireless port share the same IP to ISP through Ethernet WAN port. The Wireless port acts the same as a LAN port while at AP Router mode.

Access Point - In this mode, the device can be connected to a wired network and transform the wired access into wireless that multiple devices can share together, especially for a home, office or hotel where only wired network is available.

Multi-SSID - In this mode, the device can create up to 4 wireless networks labeled with different SSIDs and assign each SSID with different security or VLAN, especially for the situation when the various access policies and functions are required.

Repeater(Range Extender) - In this mode, the device can copy and reinforce the existing wireless signal to extend the coverage of the signal, especially for a large space to eliminate signal-blind corners.

Bridge with AP - In this mode, the device can be used to combine multiple local networks together to the same one via wireless connections, especially for a home or office where separated networks can't be connected easily together with a cable.
