Chapter 3 Wireless Setup
This chapter is to describe how to configure CWFC103
to setup different modes: Gateway, AP/Bridge and Wireless
ISP mode.
Operation Mode:
Gateway: In this mode, the device is supposed
to connect to internet via ADSL/Cable modem.
The NAT is enabled and PCs in LAN ports
share the same IP to ISP through WAN port.
The connection type can be setup in WAN page
by using PPPoE, DHCP client, PPTP client,
L2TP client or static IP.
Bridge: In this mode, all Ethernet ports and
wireless interface are bridged together and
NAT function is disabled. All the WAN
related function and firewall are not supported.
3.1 Default Configuration
IP address 10.10.1.1
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
