port works
as a WAN port at Wireless Router mode.
2. Hotspot Router: In this mode, the device enables multiple users to share Internet connection from WISP
. The LAN port devices share the same IP
from WISP through Wireless port
. While connecting to WISP
, the Wireless port
works as a WAN port
.
The Ethernet port acts as a LAN port
.
3. Access Point: In this mode, this device can be connected to a wired network and transform the wired access into wireless that multiple devices
can share together, especially for a home, office or hotel where only wired network is available.
4. Range Extender: In this mode, this device can copy and reinforce the existing wireless signal to extend the coverage of the signal, especially
for a large space to eliminate signal-blind corners.
5. Client: In this mode, this device can be connected to another device via Ethernet port
and act as an adapter to grant your wired devices access
to a wireless network, especially for a Smart TV, Media Player, or game console only with an Ethernet port.
