Operating Mode - ZyXEL Communications P-334WHD Quick Start Manual

3 Operating Mode

The P-334WHD supports three operating modes: Router, Access Point and WiFi WAN Router.
Router (default): Select this mode if the P-334WHD is connected to a broadband DSL/cable modem. NAT
allows all LAN computers to access the Internet using the same public IP address.
WiFi WAN Router: In this mode, the P-334WHD works similarly as a Router, but uses a wireless WAN
connection via an access point (AP) or wireless router, instead of a wired connection via a DSL/cable modem.
In this mode, the P-334WHD does not allow network access to wireless clients (WLAN).
Access Point: In this mode, the P-334WHD works as a Router without routing features (such as NAT),
firewall, content filtering, etc.
When the P-334WHD is in Access Point or WiFi WAN Router mode, all LAN and WAN ports act as a hub.
If you want to configure the operating mode, click Maintenance > Sys OP Mode. See your User's Guide for
more information about the operating modes.
Note: Use the wizard to configure the P-334WHD in Router mode. If you want to use the P-334WHD in
Access Point or WiFi WAN Router mode, use the main menus.
You can use the WAN dial-up connection only when the P-334WHD is in Router mode.
