NBG-419N v2 User’s Guide

This chapter introduces the different modes available on your Router. First, the term “mode” refers 
to two things in this User’s Guide.

• Web Configurator mode. This refers to the Web Configurator interface you want to use for 

editing Router features. 

• Device mode. This is the operating mode of your Router, or simply how the Router is being used 

in the network. 

This refers to the configuration interface of the Web Configurator, which has two modes:

• Easy. The Web Configurator shows this mode by default. Refer to 

 for more 

information on the screens in this mode. This interface may be sufficient for users who just want 
to use the device.

• Expert. Advanced users can change to this mode to customize all the functions of the Router. 

Click Expert Mode after logging into the Web Configurator. The User’s Guide 

 discusses the screens in this mode.

This refers to the operating mode of the Router, which can act as a:

• Router. This is the default device mode of the Router. Use this mode to connect the local 

network to another network, like the Internet. Go to 

 to view the Status 

screen in this mode.

• Access Point. Use this mode if you want to extend your network by allowing network devices to 

connect to the Router wirelessly. Go to 

 view the Status screen in this 

mode.

• WISP mode. Use this mode if there is an existing wireless router or access point in the network 

to which you want to connect your local network. Go to 

 to view the 

Status screen in this mode.

For more information on these modes and to change the mode of your Router, refer to 

.

The menu for changing device modes is available in Expert mode only. 

Note: Choose your Device Mode carefully to avoid having to change it later.
