Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users
only. The Modem Router can be configured to work as a wireless
network access point. Using this mode will defeat the NAT IP sharing
feature and DHCP server. In AP mode, the Modem Router will need
to be configured with an IP address that is in the same subnet as
the rest of the network that you will bridge to. The default IP address
is 192.168.2.254 and subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. These can be
customized for your need.

Point only" page. When you select this option, you will be able to
change the IP settings.

Changes".
3.
Connect a cable from the WAN port on the Modem Router to your
existing network.
