Mode selection
Setup Wizard
The mode the access point will work in. The default is Gateway however unless you have a
specific requirement to use Gateway we always suggest moving the running mode to AP mode.
Gateway mode: - The AP will allocate IP numbers to the connected devices. This mode is default
as it permits you to connect and setup the AP very easily.
The AP could be left in this mode however, any connections to the AP (wireless or not) will be
allocated different IP addresses to the main network, potentially preventing communication
between devices on the main network.
Repeater mode:- The AP will receive & retransmit the Wi-Fi signal from another device.
It performs the same role as Access Point mode, but the key is that it talks over Wi-Fi instead. As
such, this does not get around obstacles as well as an access point does. While an access point
can be put in front of an obstacle, a repeater will need to be angled around it. However, the benefit
of repeaters is that they do not need a cable to connect to the central hub.
WISP mode: - Wirelessly connects to a WISP (Wireless Internet Service Provider) AP. In this
mode, the AP also acts as a router for wired clients on your LAN and provides NAT (Network
Address Translation) and a DHCP server to generate IP addresses for wired clients only.
NAT and the DHCP server allow many computers to share the same wireless
Internet connection, all appearing as the one single IP at the other side of the access point.
AP mode: - This is the usual running mode of the AP after setting up.
This allows the router to allocate IP address to devices that connect to the Wi-Fi AP.
