Wireless Router Operating Modes

LEGUANG N900 supports three operation modes:

Gateway Mode: In this mode, the device works as a router, connecting to Internet with
WAN port via ADSL/Cable Modem. Local PCs are connected to the router with LAN port
or WiFi. Network Address Translation (NAT) is enabled. Local PCs share the same IP to ISP
through WAN port. WAN port supports PPPOE, DHCP client or static IP. DHCP server on
LAN port is enabled by default to assign IP address to local PCs. With outdoor high gain
antenna, N900 can also connect the remote network together to share the Internet
connection. It is a very good solution for suburbs or rural area to access Internet. This is
the default mode of the equipment.

Bridge Mode: In this mode, all Ethernet ports and wireless interface are bridged
together so both network ports can be used to connect local PC. NAT function is
disabled. All the WAN related function and firewall are not supported. DHCP server on
LAN port can be enabled as needed. The device is essentially used as an access pint (AP).

Wireless ISP: In this mode, the device works as a wireless client and access point at the
same time. It acts as a wireless client to connect to ISP. It also acts as an access point to
connect local PCs with WiFi. All Ethernet ports are bridged together so both network
ports can be used to connect local PC. The NAT is enabled and all local PCs share the
same IP address to access ISP. The difference between Wireless ISP mode and Gateway
mode is that Gateway mode uses wired connection while Wireless ISP mode wireless
connection to access the service provider.
