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 ofces where

only a wired network is available. Please note that when connecting to networks in some hotels or places that charge a

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).
