The following configuration options are included in Basic Settings:
NOTE: To implement the changes you make to the settings, you must save and restart the router. Otherwise, the
router uses the previous settings. If you are using the BACK/NEXT links to step through each screen in the Basic
Settings portion of the web-configuration tool, you ultimately reach the Save & Restart page. Click Save & Restart to
commit the changes and the router will reboot automatically with the new settings in effect.
Router Mode
The Dell TrueMobile 2300 Wireless Broadband Router device comes with two operating modes, the Gateway mode and the
Access Point mode.
Gateway mode allows your router to create a wireless network to access the broadband router. Wired and wireless network
devices share the same Internet connection through Internet port in the Gateway mode. However, some ISP may request you
to do the additional setup such as PPPoE, before using your router to access Internet.
Access Point mode allows your router to act as a bridge between wireless devices and Ethernet devices in the existing
network. All wired and wireless devices are located in the same class C subnet. Internet port is useless here. Thus, Access
Point mode is here to help you setting up a single isolated network.
NOTE: If the device is put in AP mode, the Internet Connection Settings will not be available.
The Gateway mode is the default setting in Wireless Broadband Router. Click the radio button to select between these two
modes.
