Routing features enabled in router mode

The AP can function in router mode (its default operation mode) or in AP mode.
When the AP is in router mode, the following routing features are enabled in the local
browser UI:
• Internet settings, including an IP address issued through dynamic DHCP (the default
setting), a manually specified static IP address, an IP address issued through PPPoE,
L2TP, or PPTP, and various ways to implement an IPv6 address.
• WAN settings, including routing services such as NAT.
• LAN settings, including a DHCP server.
• QoS settings.
• Internet security settings, including the option to block sites and services, and the
option to set up port forwarding and port triggering rules.
• VPN service and VPN client.
• Internet traffic meter.
• Bridge port and VLAN tag groups.
• Changing the priority for an attached device.
Note: In AP mode, these features are not required because they can be provided by
the routing device to which the AP connects. Therefore, in AP mode, these features are
masked out in the local browser UI.
