It specifies the working mode of the CPE.
AP mode: in this mode, the device creates a wireless network based on the current wired network.
Client mode: in this mode, the device works as a wireless adapter to connect to the wireless network of
upstream AP, and does not provide wireless access point.
Universal Repeater mode: in this mode, this device expands your WiFi network for broader network
coverage.
Advantage of Universal Repeater compared with Repeater mode: This mode does not require that the
upstream AP supports WDS function.
WISP mode: connect to an access point provided by ISP in wireless manner.
Repeater mode: the CPE connects 2 or more (this device supports 4 at most) wired networks with a
wireless link, and can be connected with both wired and wireless clients. To use the Repeater function
of this device, the peer AP is required to support WDS function, and use the same radio band as that of
this device.
P2MP mode: this device connects 2 or more (this device supports 4 at most) wired networks with a
wireless link, but cannot be connected with wireless clients. P2MP mode is used to achieve
communication between multiple offices of an enterprise in a city.
Router mode: in this mode, the PoE LAN/WAN port works as the WAN port and is used to connect to a
modem for internet access.
It specifies the security mode of the WiFi network to be bridged. It will be automatically populated when
you select an SSID to bridge. If the WiFi network to be bridged has a WiFi password, you need to enter
the password manually.
DHCP (Dynamic IP): The CPE obtains IP address and other parameters form the DHCP server of
upstream device for internet access.
Static IP Address: The CPE access the internet by setting the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway
and DNS server IP addresses manually.
PPPoE: The CPE access the internet using the PPPoE user name and password provided by the ISP.
