This chapter provides setup examples of some frequently used router features. Set
up these features via your Web browser.
1) Choosing an appropriate operation mode
ASUS RT-N11 Wireless Router supports three
operation modes: home gateway, router, and access
point. Click System Setup -> Operation mode to
open the configuration page.
Home gateway mode is for home or SOHO
users who want to connect to their ISPs for Internet services. In this operation
mode, NAT, WAN connection, Internet firewall functions are supported.
Router mode is for office use where multiple routers and switches co-exist. You
can set up routing policies in this mode. However, NAT function is disabled.
Access point mode works when you set up RT-N11 as a wireless bridge. In
this mode, all Ethernet ports on RT-N11 (4 LAN ports and 1 WAN port) are
recognized as LAN ports. WAN connection, NAT, and Internet firewall functions
are disabled in access point mode.
Select a proper mode which complies to your network scenario and press Apply
button, and then you can continue to set up the advanced features for your
RT-N11.
