Select the desired option, and click "Save".
Both the ADSL2+ Modem and the Router features are operational. In
Router
this mode, this device can provide shared Internet Access to all your
LAN users. Also, by default, it acts a DHCP Server, providing an IP
address and related information to all Wireless and LAN users.
Only the ADSL2+ Modem component is operational.

Notes:
Generally, you should NOT use modem mode. Only select this mode if you are
sure this is what you want.
After changing the mode, this device will restart, which will take a few seconds.
The menu will also change, depending on the mode you are in.
The Wireless Access Point can function in either Router or Modem mode. But
generally it is not a good idea to combine a Modem with an Access Point, because
all data received from the wireless stations will be sent over the modem connec-
tion. (Since the modem is transparent, it does not examine the traffic to determine
whether the traffic is for the LAN or the WAN.)
For details on using Modem Mode, see Chapter 8.
Figure 21: Mode Screen
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.
