General Information - Conrad 98 91 96 Bedienungsanleitung

• Operating Mode "Bridge"
In the „Bridge" mode, the device generally acts as an access point. It serves to expand a
present network with a WLAN access point. There must already be a router (with or without
WLAN) that is already connected to the internet. The two LAN connections and the WLAN are
bridged here. The connection to the router is established with a network cable. It is connected
to one of the three network connections of the device after the confi rmation. The PCs can be
wirelessly connected to the access point via WLAN or via one of the two other LAN ports in
operation later. This mode also permits expanding one or two LAN ports with a network switch.
The DHCP server is set to automatic operation. It is automatically deactivated once another
DHCP server appears in the network.
• Operating mode "Wireless ISP"
This mode is used to connect one or several computers in a public or private wireless network
(e.g. hotspot). Access to the internet is created via WLAN. Nevertheless, the device offers a
WLAN access point in parallel. The computers can thus be connected to the router with the
two LAN ports, the WAN port and the WLAN. In this operating mode, both LAN ports and the
WAN port are perfectly normal network connections. Therefore, it doesn't matter at which
network port you connect your computer after the confi guration. It is also possible to expand
the ports of the router with a network switch. The DHCP-server is permanently active.
