Router Mode or AP Mode
The NetShair Nano can be used in one of two operating modes:
Router Mode and Access Point Mode
Router Mode:
This is the default setting and is commonly used for most
applications. Router Mode converts an Ethernet connection to
Wi-Fi with DHCP, enabling you to create a private Wi-Fi network
and share Internet access to multiple users and devices. If using
the NetShair Nano at home with a cable modem, use Router
Mode and the WAN setting for DHCP Client. If using at home
with a DSL modem, use Router Mode and the WAN setting for
PPPoE connection.
Access Point Mode (AP Mode):
This mode simply turns a wired network or Internet connection
into a wireless access point. AP Mode is suitable if you already
have a router managing DHCP and need a wireless internet
connection in places such as hotels, dorms and ofces where
only a wired network is available. Please note that when
connecting to networks in some hotels or places that charge a
5
fee for each device connected, use Router Mode to share a single
IP address between your connected devices. Using AP mode on
these networks would require each device to have a separate IP
address, likely causing an access charge for each one.
Hardware Installation
Do not connect the Ethernet cable until app/client setup
is complete!
1. To power on the NetShair Nano,
plug into a USB port on your computer
or to a USB charging adapter of any
mobile device.
2. Download the NetShair Nano App
for your devices from their
respective app store. (App not required
for PC/MAC or other devices with full
HTML browser support).
3. Connect to the
NetShair_Nano_XXXX
Wi-Fi network.
Note: XXXX= Last 4
digits of the NetShair Nano’s MAC ID.
