Device Mode
Device Name This field displays the current name of this device.
Device Mode Select the desired device mode for the router:
  • Router - In this mode, this device can provide shared Internet Access to all your LAN users. Also, by default, it acts a DHCP Server, providing an IP address and related information to all Wireless and LAN users.
  • Access Point - it does not perform any operations or make any changes to the network traffic passing through it. You need to have a DHCP Server on your LAN or WAN side to provide IP addresses to the Wireless and LAN clients using this Access Point.
IP Address IP address for the Server . Use the default value unless the address is already in use or your LAN is using a different IP address range. In the latter case, enter an unused IP Address from within the range used by your LAN.
Subnet Mask The default value 255.255.255.0 is standard for small (class "C") networks. For other networks, use the Subnet Mask for the LAN segment to which the Server is attached. i.e. the same value as the PCs on that LAN segment.
