LAN Access Point

–  30  –

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) and static IP for 

connection to an Internet service provider (ISP) through a cable or DSL 

modem.

The Wireless Broadband Router can provide an access point service for an 

existing wired LAN, creating a wireless extension to the local network. The 

Wireless 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.
