The Wireless Access Point can function in either Router or Modem mode. However, in
general it is not recommend to combine a Modem with an Access Point, because all data
received from the wireless stations will be sent over the modem connection. (Since the
modem is transparent, it does not examine the traffic to determine whether the traffic is for
the LAN or the WAN.)
All Router features are disabled. This device is "transparent" - it does
not perform any operations or make any changes to the network traffic
passing through it.
You need to have a DHCP Server on your LAN to provide IP addresses
to the Wireless clients using this Access Point.
All traffic received on either the Wireless or LAN interface will be sent
over the ADSL connection.
