The wireless AP/Router has two basic operating modes that can be set through the 
web-based management interface. For information on setting the mode suitable for 
your network environment, see “Operation Mode configuration” on page 5-4.

• Gateway Mode — A gateway mode that connects a wired LAN and wireless clients 

to an Internet access device, such as a cable or DSL modem. This is the factory 
set default mode.

• Bridge Mode — An access point mode that extends a wired LAN to wireless 

clients.

In addition to these basic operating modes, the wireless interface supports a 
Wireless Distribution System (WDS) link to another wireless AP/Router. These 
advanced configurations are not described in this section. See “Network Planning” 
on page 3-1 for more information.

In a basic configuration, how the wireless AP/Router is connected depends on the 
operating mode. The following sections describe connections for basic Gateway 
Mode and Bridge Mode operation.

In its default Gateway Mode, the wireless AP/Router forwards traffic between an 
Internet connected cable or ADSL modem, and wired or wireless PCs or notebooks. 
The basic connections are illustrated in the figure below.
