3.3 WiFi
The router provides an IEEE 802.11ac/n/g/b WiFi interface with dual band (2.4GHz/5GHz) operation for mobile wireless
devices to connect for Internet/Intranet access. There are several wireless operation modes provided by this device. They
are: “AP Router Mode”, “WDS Only Mode”, and “WDS Hybrid Mode”. You can choose the expected mode from the wireless
operation mode list.
There are some sub-sections for you to configure the WiFi function, including “Basic Configuration” and “Advanced
Configuration”. In the Basic Configuration section, you are required to complete most of the settings to use the WiFi function
and the Advanced Configuration section provides more parameters for advanced users to fine tune the connectivity
performance of the WiFi function.
3.3.1 WiFi Configuration
Below are the scenarios for each wireless operation mode.
3.3.1.1 AP Router Mode
This mode allows you to get your wired and wireless devices connected to the Internet using Network Address Translation
(NAT). The router behaves as both a WiFi AP (Access Point) and a WiFi hotspot to provide Internet access. This means local
WiFi clients can connect to it and access the Internet through it without the need to obtain a public IP address from the ISP.
