The private local network, connected to the LAN port or wireless interface,
provides a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server for
allocating IP addresses to local PCs and wireless clients, and Network
Address Translation (NAT) for mapping the multiple "internal" IP addresses
to one "external" IP address.
The public external network, connected to the WAN port, supports DHCP
client, Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE), static IP for
connection, L2TP and PPTP to an Internet service provider (ISP) through a
cable or DSL modem.
The 3G Modem link can provide a backup Internet connection with
automatic failover and fallback to the primary WAN connection.
The wireless 3G Broadband Router can provide an access point service for
an existing wired LAN, creating a wireless extension to the local network.
The wireless 3G Broadband Router functions as purely an access point
when set to Bridge Mode. When used in this mode, there are no gateway
functions between the WAN port and the LAN and wireless interface.
A Wi-Fi wireless network is defined by its Service Set Identifier (SSID) or
network name. Wireless clients that want to connect to a network must set
their SSID to the same SSID of the network service. The wireless 3G
Broadband Router supports two separate wireless interfaces, that is two
SSIDs or Virtual Access Points (VAPs). The two VAP interfaces can be
configured separately to support different security settings or other
wireless functions.
