The Router supports five working modes for multi-user to access the Internet: Standard Wireless
Router, Access Point, Repeater, Client and WISP Client Router. In Wireless Router mode,
the device enables multiple users to share the Internet connection via ADSL/Cable Modem. In
Access Point mode, this device can be connected to a wired network and transform the wired
access into wireless that multiple devices can share together. In Repeater mode, the device will
relay data to an associated root AP. In Client mode, the device will act as a wireless station to
enable wired host(s) to access AP. In WISP Client Router mode, the device enables multiple
users to share Internet connection from WISP. You can configure your device quickly by the
following steps in different modes.
