13. Make a Topology Selection based on your network's configuration. The network topology
mode determines which options are available in the remainder of the Initial Setup Wizard.
• Router Mode - In Router Mode, the AP-6511 routes traffic between the local network
(LAN) and internet or external network (WAN).
• Bridge Mode - In Bridge Mode, the AP-6511 depends on an external router for routing

typically used for a larger density network.
For the purposes of this guide, Router Mode is selected, as Bridge Mode does not require
that all parameters be set.
