Router (Modem
+ Router)
Both the ADSL Modem and the Router features are operational. 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.
Modem Only the ADSL Modem component is operating.
• All Router features are disabled. This device is "transparent" - 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 to provide IP addresses
to the Wireless clients using this Access Point.
• All traffic received on either the Wireless or LAN interface will be sent
over the ADSL connection.
Notes:
• Generally, you should NOT use modem mode. Only select this mode if you are sure this is what you want.
• After changing the mode, this device will restart, which will take few seconds. The menu will also change,
depending on the mode you are in.
• The Wireless Access Point can function in either Router or Modem mode. But generally it is not a good
idea to combine a Modem with an Access Point because all data received from the wireless stations will
be sent over the modem connection. (Since the modem is transparent, it does not examine the traffic to
determine whether the traffic is for the LAN or the WAN.)
• For details on using Modem Mode, see Chapter 8.
