7. Select one of the following network mode options:
• Router Mode - In Router Mode, connected Access Points route traffic between the local
network (LAN) and the Internet or external network (WAN). Router mode is recommended
in a deployment supported by just a single Access Point. When Router Mode is selected,
an additional WAN screen is available in wizard screen flow to configure interface settings
for an Access Point’s WAN port.
• Bridge Mode - In Bridge Mode, connected Access Points depend on an external router for
routing LAN and WAN traffic. Routing is generally used on one device, whereas bridging is
typically used in a larger network. Thus, select Bridge Mode when deploying numerous
peer Access Points supporting clients on both the 2.4 and 5GHz radio bands.
Select Next. The wizard displays the LAN Configuration screen to set the LAN interface
configuration.
