Understanding Operation Modes and the Web User Interface

The DVW3201B provides four operation modes. Different options are available in the Web
user interface depending on the mode and the type of user logged in. The operation mode
is set from the Tools menu Operation Mode option.
Bridge
Provides a wireless side for a specific access point. Enables layer 2 protocols, in which
(usually) one Public IP address is automatically assigned to the subscriber from the cable
company's DHCP servers. In this mode, the first device to connect to a LAN or Wireless
LAN interface gets the Public IP. Hint: Disable the wireless primary network SSID to
ensure that only an Ethernet-based device (e.g., Home Router) gets the Public IP.
NAT
Provides a wireless access point that allows sharing a single Internet connection. Enables
Layer 3 IP protocol, DHCP for private IP address assignment, NAT for network address
and port translation, IP routing, firewall protection, and parental control features. Hint: All
LAN and Wireless LAN interfaces are on the same Private IP subnet, and are translated
to a single Public IP address on the WAN gateway interface to the Internet.
