You can use the AP+4 as a Router/Access Point, Universal
Repeater, Ethernet Client or Wireless ISP.
•
As a Router/AP, the AP+4 handles local network traffic both
wirelessly and through its four LAN (Local Area Network)
ports, and communicates via its WAN (Wide Area Network)
port to an ADSL modem, cable modem, or other Internet-
connected device.
•
As a Repeater, the AP+4 is placed near the edge of a
wireless network – for example, a Zoom X6 network – and
wirelessly links up to 200 more devices to the network.
•
As an Ethernet Client, the AP+4 connects via its LAN ports
to up to four game consoles or computers, and links them
wirelessly to a Zoom X6 or other wireless router.
•
As a Wireless ISP, the AP+4 can connect up to four wired
PCs or game consoles, give them Network Address
Translation protection, and connect them wirelessly to an
access point. If you select this mode, use the Wireless
Basic Setup page to configure the AP+4 as a wireless
client.
See Setting Up the AP+4 on page 8 to choose an operating
mode.
This User Guide provides instructions for connecting and
