Chapter 3 Firmware Setup
This chapter is to describe how to configure AWM002
to setup different modes: Wireless Router (Transparent
Bridge), AP Client and Wireless AP mode.
Operation Mode:
Wireless Router (Transparent Bridge): In
this mode, the Ethernet WAN port is for WAN.
The connection type can be setup in WAN
page by using Static IP, DHCP (Auto config),
PPPoE, and Transparent Bridge. LAN port is
for LAN and wireless is LAN also.
Wireless AP Client: In this mode, the device
is supposed to connect to internet or the other
wireless router via Wireless WAN. The NAT is
enabled and PCs in LAN ports share the same
IP to ISP through WAN port.
