Display the information of AP for connecting.
You can click the Scan button and select an AP for the uplink network.
You can also create uplink profile(s) for ease of connecting to an available Uplink network.
Refer to the Basic Network > Wi-Fi > Uplink Profile tab.
Select the expected network type for the Wi-Fi Uplink connection. It can be NAT Mode, Bridge
Mode, or NAT Disable.
When NAT Mode is selected, the NAT function is activated on the Wireless Uplink connection;
when Bridge Mode is selected, the bridge function is activated on the Wireless Uplink
connection. Bridge mode support depends on the product specification. If the purchased
device doesn't support bridge mode, it will be greyed out from selection.
When NAT Disable is selected, the NAT function is deactivated on the Wireless Uplink
connection, and it can function as a router with manually configured routing settings.
Specify the IP mode for the wireless uplink Interface: Dynamic IP or Static IP
When Dynamic IP is selected, the device will request an IP from the Uplink Network as the IP
for the uplink interface.
When Static IP is selected, you have to manually configure the IP address settings for the
uplink interface. The settings include IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and
primary/secondary DNS.
There are three connection modes.
Auto-reconnect (Always on) enables the router to always keep the Internet
connection on.
Connect-on-demand enables the router to automatically re-establish the Internet
connection as soon as the user attempts to access the Internet. The Internet
connection will be disconnected when it has been inactive for a specified idle time.
